Advanced regenerative medicine contributes to the prevention of breast cancer and promotes coordination with peripheral medical institutions
The characteristic of the CAL tissue augmentation procedure is that it has approximately twice as much stem cell density as the traditional lipo-transplantation method has. At Cellport Clinic Yokohama, fat extracted from the abdominal or thigh regions is processed to extract stem cells in a sterile facility called “Cell Processing Centers (CPCS)".
Besides breast augmentation procedures, this CAL tissue augmentation procedure can be applied to various treatments, such as breast reconstruction procedures after removing a breast due to breast cancer, anti-aging procedures including wrinkle removal, and buttock lift procedures to make your legs look longer. Especially, breast reconstruction for women who had breast cancer surgery is expected to improve the patient’s quality of life.
