Treatment Procedures

TOP >> Treatment Procedures

Surgery performed using the CAL soft tissue augmentation procedure begins with general anesthesia, followed by liposuction, cell treatment, and lipoinjection.

1Anesthesia The patient is put under general anesthesia and does not feel pain. A saline solution containing a weak local anesthetic and a vasoconstrictor is injected into the areas where fat is to be suctioned. This procedure softens the treated area. Also, by constricting the blood vessels, bleeding is kept to a minimum.
2Liposuction Through a tiny incision in the skin, a narrow metallic tube is inserted and a liposuction pump is used to suction subcutaneous fat.
Required Time
  • Breast Augmentation, Breast Reconstruction (both sides), Buttock Lift (about 45 min)
  • Breast Reconstruction (one side), Facial (about 25 min)
3Cell Treatment Stem cells are obtained from parts of the aspirated fat and mixed with the fat to be re-injected.
Required Time
  • About 90 min
4After Surgery The fat mixed with stem cells is transplanted by a special injector for lipo-transplantation, little by little over a wide area in order to prevent it from becoming a lump.
Required Time
  • Breast Augmentation, Breast Reconstruction (both sides), Buttock Lift (about 60 min)
  • Breast Reconstruction (one side), Facial (about 30 min)
5After Surgery

  • The needle puncture on the skin from the lipoinjection may appear red after the surgery, although it will gradually disappear within one to two months.
  • Mild swelling occurs on the suctioned area or the injected area, although it will dissolve on its own within one month. Pain that is felt when the treated area is touched will disappear within two to four weeks.

  • A burning sensation may be experienced around the suctioned area, although it will disappear within a month.
  • Parts of the injected fat are gradually absorbed into the surrounding tissue, and the absorption will stabilize within three months.

Postoperative Requests
Overnight Hospital Stay
Since the treated area may swell and subcutaneous bleeding may occur after the surgery, we recommend that the patient stay in the hospital for one night. It is best if the patient is accompanied by someone upon release from the hospital.
Postoperative regular treatment as an outpatient
A medical examination of the treated area will be scheduled for the following months after having surgery: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24. Other examinations (ultrasonography, MRI, and X-ray) will be scheduled on an ongoing basis. In order to maintain the best health, we urge the patient to schedule as many examinations as possible.
Patients from abroad do not always have to return to Japan for post-examinations, but such examinations in your own country are recommended instead.
