Fat Stem Cell Preservation

Mel Bircoll

Dr. Bircoll has always been way ahead of his time. In 1987 he published his pioneering work on fat grafting to the breast; 20 year later the technique is starting to gain momentum as the procedure of choice for many patients. Dr. Bircoll’s long standing interest in the utility of fat has led him to a leadership position in the next wave: use of fat as a source of stem cells for rejuvenation of other areas of the body: joints, nerves, heart, and more.

Mommy Makeover

Grant Stevens

Dr. Stevens brings his many talents to the “mommy makeover”. He combines expertise in many areas of breast surgery (revision of breast augmentation as well as breast lift with augmentation), with his expertise on abdominal recontouring by surgery (“tummy tuck”) and non-surgical techniques (“freeze the fat”). In spite of his extremely busy surgical schedule, he is a great and tireless teacher, both at the University of California as well as at surgical meetings around the world.

Dr. Kane has taken his advanced training in facial aesthetic surgery and used it to create non-surgical techniques that give a major rejuvenation with no down-time. He has true expertise is use of all of the fillers available in the U.S. and has been involved in the trials leading to their approval by the FDA. His wide experience allows him to tailor the treatment using the combination of fillers, surgery, and botulinum toxin that best suits the needs of his varied patient base.

Facial implants

Ed Terino

Dr. Terino was one of the first to understand that plastic surgery involved more that mere tailoring of lax skin, and that 3-dimensional analysis of the facial structures was the key to providing for optimal results, that “sculpting is more than just tailoring”. Building on this concept, he developed facial implants that could give long-lasting recontouring to restore what is lost in age or to augment what nature did not provide. He has been generous in teaching these advanced techniques, and remains unsurpassed in the ability to visualize how best to augment to face.

Thermage

Robert Peterson

Dr. Peterson has been fascinated with lasers and electronics from the time he tried to build a laser as a science project in elementary school.  This interest led to studies and research in radioastronomy and graduate school in electrical engineering prior to enrolling in medical school.  This background gives him a unique perspective and understanding of how biological systems interact with RF energy in devices like Thermage, Pelleve, Refirme, and other RF systems.
