Tweak of the Week: My stem-cell fat transfer procedure: 1, the full video | Alice Hart-Davis

Back before Christmas, I tried a major facial rejuvenation procedure which involved having fat removed from my thighs, mined for its stem cells, then re-injected into my face. 

This is a procedure that uses stem cells and fat taken from your own body to rejuvenate the face. We think of stem cells as something you find in the bone marrow – but you also find them in adult fat cells. Stem cells are the healing cells of the body and if they are extracted and re-injected in the face they can help regenerate the facial tissues.

It's rather more than a tweakment, as it involved liposuction to extract the fat, and was done in an operating theatre at the Cadogan Clinic in central London by leading plastic surgeon Tunc Tiryaki. 

Here's a video I've made to talk about the whole experience.

This procedure costs around £7,000 at the Cadogan Clinic www.cadoganclinic.com. For details of Mr Tiryaki's work, see www.tunctiryaki.co.uk

I didn’t pay for the procedure as I was a demo model for a surgical meeting.
