Ιnnovative Technique

The Stromal Enriched Lipograft™ (SEL™) method involves the attachment of isolated stem cells from our body to the aspirated fat, while the fat tissue acts as a living biological tissue before its transfer to another body area. Today, the technique is used, among others, in the correction of inherited or acquired defects (e.g. post-burn deformities) and in breast reconstruction surgery following a mastectomy.

In aesthetic plastic surgery, the technique offers a safer option compared to injectable materials in the face and body area and breast silicone implants, contributing to the creation of functional tissue, which bears a more natural-looking appearance and entails less risks than the currently available options.

In every case, using tissue from our own body helps us avoid the possibility of graft rejection (until now, fat graft survival in traditional liposculpture is 20-30%) or suffering adverse reactions.
