About this Episode

For over 100 years in the field of aesthetics and medical surgery, operations to remove fats have been done. Fat transfers can be successful when approached strategically, considering individual factors to optimize results.

In my approach to breast implant removal surgery and fat transfer, I strive to create an optimal experience for every client. By combining fat transfer with planned surgery, we aim to enhance outcomes uniformly across various body types and ages.

Fat transfer for breast reconstruction with Dr. Rob

It's crucial to consider hormone balance, sex hormones, thyroid levels, and other parameters to level up each client for successful fat transfer.
We carefully assess functional genomics, toxicity levels, gut microbiome, food sensitivities, and hormone balance. These parameters play a pivotal role in preparing each client for an optimal fat transfer experience.

We place significant emphasis on evaluating and addressing the unique hormonal profile of every individual, aiming to enhance their readiness for the procedure. In addition to hormone balance, our approach encompasses a comprehensive assessment of functional genomics, toxicity levels, gut microbiome, and food sensitivities. By delving into these aspects, we gain valuable insights into a patient's overall health and suitability for a fat transfer. This detailed evaluation enables us to tailor our approach, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every client.

Our methodology has garnered attention within the United States and internationally. Clients from various parts of the world seek our expertise and trust our specialized approach to fat transfer procedures.

We harvest fat from specific areas like thighs, love handles, or abdomen, tailoring the approach to each individual's needs. Using a well-defined fat transfer system, we control the process to achieve the best outcomes. It must be noted, however, that the amount of fat transferred varies based on BMI and specific patient conditions, ensuring a controlled and effective procedure.

I’ve been using this method for nearly 15 years in my experience with fat transfer in breast implant removal surgery to address issues like rippling and enhancing implant-based reconstruction or augment DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforator) free flap breast reconstruction. However, it's important to clarify that even individuals with a low BMI can undergo fat transfer successfully, as can those with a higher BMI with certain considerations.

Genetic factors affecting detoxification pathways

During consultations, I thoroughly assess each client's potential for a fat transfer based on their unique circumstances and fat availability considering that genetic factors play a significant role in determining a person's ability to process and eliminate toxins at both cellular and macro levels.

Genetic enzymatic capability is of great importance as inherited from parents, especially in effectively managing toxin elimination through sweat, urine, and feces. Our ability to metabolize vitamins like D and efficiently process B vitamins relies on such capability. Additionally, we use antioxidants like vitamins C, A, and E to support our immune system and cellular functions.

Addressing my clients' detoxification challenges involves a deep understanding of their genetic predispositions, allowing me to set out appropriate methods and approaches that optimize their detoxification processes.

Detoxification supplements and testing for inflammation and toxicity

The next step involves evaluating the level of toxicity each patient may be dealing with through a urine toxicity test. This is for the purpose of preparing them and providing appropriate supplementation to aid in expressing these toxins through urine.

I typically recommend using key supplements like vitamin D3, K, liposomal B complex, liposomal vitamin C, oral liposomal glutathione, D-glucarate, and glycine to facilitate this detoxification process. By assessing food sensitivities and gut microbiome through blood and stool tests, respectively, we gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient's inflammation levels and plan a suitable detoxification strategy. We then proceed with utilizing the Cell Core detoxification supplement line based on the gathered information.
