About this book

Interest in the use of stem cells in aesthetic procedures has been increasing rapidly, reflecting the widespread acknowledgment of the tremendous potential of stem cell fat transfer. This is, however, the first book to be devoted entirely to the subject. The book opens by reviewing the history of the development of pluripotent stem cells and the results of research into the biochemistry and physiology of stem cells. Adipose tissue anatomy and survival are discussed and the wide range of aesthetic procedures involving stem cell fat transfer are then described in detail. These procedures relate to the face, breast, buttocks, legs, hands, penis and Poland syndrome. In addition, potential risks and complications are identified. The book has been written by leading experts and will be an invaluable source of information for students, beginners and experienced surgeons in a range of specialties.

Franco Bassetto, MD, is Full Professor of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at the Department of Neurosciences, University of Padova, Italy and Chief of the Plastic Surgery Clinic at the University Hospital. In addition he is Chief of the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Reconstructive Residency Program at the University of Padova (accredited by the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery). Dr. Bassetto has been Principal Investigator on 50 research projects regarding issues of surgical anatomy, tissue healing and regeneration, metabolism of obese patients and clinical trials. He is a member of 19 national and international scientific societies and task forces for scientific research programs in plastic surgery.
