Question: Can you explain what a stem cell facelift is? Is this a surgical or non-surgical procedure and how effective is it?
Answer: A stem cell facelift is essentially a form of structural fat grafting where the harvested fat is processed to try to increase the percentage of stem cells in it and then this fat is then reinserted into the face and with it stem cells that create a bit of rejuvenation. Fat grafting and stem cell fat grafting are overall very effective at improving the volumetric enhancement of a face, but it is not going to be nearly as effective as a standard facelift would be at lifting jowls and getting rid of lax tissue under the chin.
