hey there, just thought I would add, there is a Plastic Surgeon in Vienna Austria currently doing the Stem Cell Implantation:

http://stemcells.ddrheinrich.com/content/view/1/2/lang,en/

That's very interesting. According to this site it's the only clinic in Europe doing this procedure.

As I understand it, this isn't the celution system as such, but a similar system of stem cell implantation, so the outcome should be pretty much the same. I wonder if this idea will really catch on?

I have read with great interest in this procedure. It's still in the infancy stages, and I'm waiting with baited breath to have the procedure approved for use here in the U.S.
Does anyone have any update on when this might occur?

(P.S. this is my very, very, very first post. Great forums! Thanks)

Boston demotology does this procedure !
Its 450 dollars 4 consult and 10,000.00 -15,000.00 same one as they do in japan

oh and its boston massachusettes usa

$10k-$15k! OUCH! By the way some articles read, the cost would be in the $4,000-$5,000 range! Well....it is a brand new procedure. Hopefully the cost will come down over time. At least it's started here in U.S.
Thanks for the good info.

Yes thats alot but no surgery,no after surgery to fix problems,they areyours ,antural.
I just wish i had sum fat!Im

I totally agree Amy. No surgery, recovery time or follow ups to fix problems. And your growth is all you! Naturally. For me though, for a 1 cup size increase, it's as unreachable, as a 2 or 3 cup size increase with B.A. (sigh).
As Cytoritx's machines offer so much more potential than the purposes of NBE, I would think that institutions(doctor's, hospitals, clinics, etc) will see the value of the procedures, and will become more commonplace over time. And more machines, will mean the cost of R&D for them will come down, precipitating a decrease in the cost of them, thusly dropping the costs for the various procedures these incredible machines are capable of. Hopefully, it will be in my lifetime! LOL

Where does the idea come from that there's no surgery? I thought it was quite a long surgical procedure.

Trudy, you are correct. The surgery is actual liposuction performed to extract your own fat cells for processing. As I understand it, after one hour of processing, the stem cells are injected into your breasts, which starts the growing process. But the time involved, if I remember correctly, from start to finish is 1-2 hours. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please

I think its like 4-6 hours

Amy, not to argue with you, I'm just paraphrasing from an article I read:

"The operation is said to take place under local anaesthetic and is over within an hour, making it feasible as a “lunch time operation.” The costs are also said to be around the $4,000 mark, so on a par with having silicon breast implants. It is claimed that the operation can increase the breast cup size by up to two sizes and scientists are hoping that the first operations will go ahead next year."

Another article:
"The procedure, called Celution, takes just over an hour and involves injecting a "super-charged'' fat mixture into breast tissue.
Fat is taken from a patient's buttocks or stomach using minor liposuction under local anaesthetic.
The useful stem cells are separated out and an hour later a dose of stem and regenerative cells is packaged into a cartridge ready for injection.
It costs a few thousand dollars and the breasts enlarge over about six months, according to the program's creator Cytori Therapeutics.

There are more articles at BuzzFeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzz/Celution

I believe the "lunch time procedure" claim is nonsense. Some articles have clearly exaggerated the facts.

One thing that seems definite is that after the fat and cells are taken from you it takes an hour before the material can be re-injected. I think Cytori have said this all along, that if everything goes well with the processing it will still take an hour before the mixed material is available for the second part of the procedure.

Yes trudeus right,You should call boston dermotology and ask some questions.
I did and ithey said 450.00 for consult,4plus hours and this is celution -not fat transplant ect-the real one they offer in japan.
He was trained their and is the only one in the us to do this
But you need spare fat...

So...will it leave scars where they're doing liposuction on your tummy or butt? And where do they make the entry mark when putting it into the breast?

Scars from liposuction are usually minimal. This is because the incisions are small and therefore the scars are also small. The exact amount of scarring depends on the surgeon’s technique and the patient’s genetic or inherited scarring tendency. Some people are just more prone to scarring than others.

thay inject with needles i do beleive (big ones)

Yes I saw a video of it once. They seemed to be injecting with huge needles and it was just to the side of the breast. I mean the outside side of the breast and more towards the top than the bottom.

wow, that's some lunch hour! Fat sucked from your thighs then injected into your breasts. I'll wait a while for that one to be perfected a bit. It does sound interesting though. Wonder how long it lasts?
