I have expanded my practice to include advanced, non-surgical regenerative procedures—an exciting and rapidly evolving area that complements my extensive experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
My interest in regenerative medicine began early in my surgical training, when I spent a year conducting research in wound healing. Since then, I have continued to explore and refine techniques that harness the body’s own natural healing and regenerative capabilities. Today, advances in fat processing and platelet-rich fibrin allow us to use a patient’s own tissue to support facial rejuvenation, restore volume, improve skin quality, and promote natural-looking regeneration.
These procedures are performed under local anesthesia
Regenerative Fat Grafting
Using a small amount of fat harvested from the patient, the Becker Micronizer allows me to precisely process the tissue into specialized regenerative fat preparations. These preparations contain naturally occurring growth factors and regenerative cells that can be tailored to a variety of aesthetic applications.
Procedures may include:
- Softening facial lines and wrinkles in a manner similar to injectable fillers such as Restylane®
- Restoring volume and enhancing the cheekbones
- Enhancing and defining the lips
- Introducing finely processed regenerative fat into the facial skin to improve skin quality, texture, and overall rejuvenation
- Comprehensive facial rejuvenation designed to restore youthful contours and create a natural, refreshed appearance—similar to a subtle, non-surgical facelift
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Regenerative fat-grafting techniques may be further enhanced with platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, a regenerative treatment derived from a sample of the patient’s own blood.
PRF contains concentrated platelets, naturally occurring growth factors, and fibrin. The fibrin creates a supportive biological scaffold that may promote cellular activity, tissue repair, and regeneration.
PRF may be injected as a stand-alone treatment or combined with regenerative fat preparations for a more comprehensive approach. These treatments may also be paired with microneedling. Following microneedling, growth-factor-rich serum is applied to the skin to complement the treatment and support rejuvenation.
Additional Regenerative Applications
Fat grafting and PRF may also be used for selected breast procedures, including natural volume enhancement and the correction of contour irregularities or breast defects.
