(OPEN):
STEM-CELLS HAVE SHOWN GREAT PROMISE IN VARIOUS THERAPEUTIC USES.
HOWEVER, YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT STEM-CELLS CAN ALSO PLAY AN IMPORTANT
ROLE IN COSMETIC-SURGERY PROCEDURES. DOCTOR MARK BERMAN IS
THE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF COSMETIC SURGERY...
(BERMAN):
"WE'VE LEARNED THAT YOUR OWN FAT IS A GREAT SOURCE FOR STEM-CELLS.
WITH OUR CURRENT TECHNOLOGY, WE CAN HARVEST YOUR FAT--AND ACTUALLY
SEPARATE OUT THE STEM-CELLS. IN COSMETIC SURGERY, FAT CAN NOW BE
FORTIFIED WITH STEM-CELLS--AND BE USED FOR PROCEDURES TO REJUVENATE THE
FACE, EYELIDS, AND HANDS; TO AUGMENT THE BREAST OR REPAIR
BREAST-DEFECTS; TO AUGMENT THE BUTTOCKS; AND TO BE USED ON MANY OTHER
AREAS OF THE BODY WHERE FAT COULD BE HELPFUL. THESE AREN'T JUST
FILLERS, BUT VIABLE TISSUE THAT CAN'T BE REJECTED."
