Introduction

Introduction to NanoFat (Stem Cell)

NanoFat is an injectable stem cell treatment that is a special type of fat grafting technique. It utilizes your stem cells to enhance healing, regrow hair, improve skin health, and maximize the benefits of minimally invasive procedures. Fat is removed from your lower abdominal or inner thigh fat with a liposuction cannula. This fat is cleaned, mechanically processed, and purified. This results in a liquid solution of lipids, cell signaling molecules, vascular fragments, and, most importantly, your own Adipocyte-derived Stem Cells (ADSC). This combination of cells and molecules provides a potent regenerative cocktail ready to be injected into the areas of need. Overall, NanoFat is a game-changing injectable enhancement that maximizes the healing of cosmetic surgeries and amplifies the benefits of minimally invasive procedures, such as Morpheus, lasers, and skin resurfacing.

What is NanoFat?

NanoFat is an injectable treatment that is a compact collection of stem cells, signaling molecules, and lipids. It has major regenerative and tissue remodeling potential. If we inject NanoFat after a procedure, we can amplify the healing process to maximize the results of less invasive treatments. This has been proven many times in controlled laboratory studies, wound healing studies, and post-surgical studies. This improved healing effect makes sense when you analyze the composition of NanoFat. It includes all the cells and molecules that the skin needs to heal. It is not a fat transfer; it is pulling out the stem cells from the fat. It’s like PRP, but more powerful, as it incorporates the components necessary for healing and offers sustained benefits. NanoFat itself does not contain viable fat cells for fat grafting; however, during its harvest, we often obtain more fat than is required for the cocktail, allowing us to perform additional facial fat grafting to correct volume or contour deficiencies.

Who Are the Best Candidates For NanoFat?

Truly, the applications for NanoFat in the Detroit area are endless, but Dr Compton currently uses it in a few situations where the benefits have been proven. These include, in combination with Morpheus radiofrequency microneedling, skin resurfacing, under-eye and lip enhancements, scar revision, and facial skin rejuvenation.

NanoFat is ideal for candidates seeking enhanced healing, optimal results, or a rejuvenated appearance.

What Are the Benefits of NanoFat?

NanoFat is being investigated in nearly all areas of medicine, and its applications are virtually unlimited. In Dr. Compton’s clinic, the most common uses include improving dark circles under the eyes, rejuvenating the hands, optimizing fat grafting, enhancing wound healing, preparing nasal skin for revision rhinoplasty, and maximizing Morpheus 8 results.

NanoFat is similar to PRP (platelet-rich plasma) in that they both use your cells to maximize healing, but NanoFat offers even more advantages. The first is that NanoFat has an extracellular matrix (web in which cells live) to provide immediate support to the healing tissues. NanoFat also has a large amount of free lipid components, making it an intense skin moisturizer. Most importantly, the stem cells provided by NanoFat are the correct cells for rebuilding soft tissue and organizing healing rather than scarring. They stay in the tissues for a long time, providing signaling molecules for months to come. There is also a whole host of cell signaling molecules present in the processed fat that provide an initial boost to the healing process.

What’s the First Step?

The first step in undergoing NanoFat surgery in Troy is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Andrew Compton, a double-board-certified plastic surgeon. During your medical consultation, Dr. Compton will request accurate, honest, and detailed information regarding your medical history, lifestyle, goals, and concerns about the procedure. He will also examine the right fat harvesting areas and identify the target areas for the injections. Take this opportunity to express any concerns you may have about the surgery and ask questions about the treatment, including risks, benefits, recovery timeline, and expected results.

Once you both decide to proceed with the treatment, Dr. Compton will design your surgical plan, which you can then take to the patient concierge for pricing and scheduling, as well as to receive any pre-operative instructions.

What to Expect on the Day of NanoFat Surgery

On the day of your NanoFat surgery in Troy, Dr. Compton and his staff will greet you at the facility, assist you in getting settled, and review your surgical plan. Once you are comfortable proceeding, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia.

Once you are sedated, Dr. Compton will begin by creating incisions for fat harvesting. NanoFat is fat harvested from the abdomen through a small two-millimeter incision in your belly button. Once extracted, the fat is washed and processed to break apart the large fat cells, then passed through filters to isolate the stem cells from any remaining large fat cells.

The filter produces NanoFat, a liquid containing free lipids, other cellular building blocks, and adipocyte-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The NanoFat can then be injected into and under the skin in the treatment areas to maximize healing. This will enhance tissue healing and promote healthier skin, characterized by increased blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, collagen, and elastin.

It will amplify the results of Morpheus 8 and other minimally invasive treatments.

NanoFat surgery can take 1–2 hours without complications. The length of the procedure depends on the areas being treated and the amount of fat needed.

NanoFat Recovery

Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within two weeks.

How Much Does NanoFat Cost in Detroit, MI?

The cost of NanoFat stem cell treatment in Detroit will vary based on multiple patient factors, including graft volume requirements, desired location for the graft, Dr. Compton’s fees, and the price of anesthesia. Come in for a consultation to obtain a personalized quote. The range for fat grafting with NanoFat by Dr. Compton is $2,500 to $5,000 depending on the area being treated and the amount of graft harvested. Often times, Dr Compton will combine NanoFat with PRP and a CO2 laser for maximal benefits. Depending on their preoperative condition, patients may require more than one session, and final results may take 9- 12 months to bloom, so ensure you plan for this timeline if there is an upcoming special date.
