FIRST 'FAT BANK' OPENS GIVES NEW MEANING TO 'FATTY DEPOSITS'

A DOCTOR IN FLORIDA HAS OPENED THE FIRST 'FAT BANK' WITH AGELESS BABES IN MIND.  LIKE A BLOOD BANK STORES BLOOD AND A SPERM BANK STORES SPERM, THIS NEW FAT BANK WILL BE STORING YOUR FAT CELLS FOR FUTURE USE.

The Liquid Gold Center was just opened in Winter Park, Florida by plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Hartog.

He intends to store fat cells from people who get liposuction so they can use them in the future for lip and/or butt enhancement. When a patient has liposuction, the removed fat is put in either a vile or silver case. It's bar coded and put in their system. Then, it's stored in a nitrogen freezer at minus 192 degrees Celsius. (Sure gives new meaning to Chunky Monkey in the freezer) 

According to Dr. Hartog , "The discovery that fat is rich with ADRCs makes it nature’s most perfect “volume filler.” And it has proven healing effects for burn wounds and radiation injuries. It is literally, liquid gold. (That's a nice new way to look at fat)

MARNI JAMESON of The Orlando Sentinel covers the pros and cons in her story, "Fat Banks: a bunch of bologna?"

She Writes...

"Cosmetic surgeons who perform fat-transfer procedures typically transfer the patient’s fat immediately after removing it through liposuction, often within the hour. Common sites for the transferred fat are the face and breasts."

She quotes Dr. Jeffrey Hartog...

"Having their fat in the bank would allow patients to draw on it later, when they want to plump up body parts that have succumbed to age, said Dr. Jeffrey Hartog, whose new Liquid Gold center is next to his cosmetic -surgery. I will present it as an option to any patient having liposuction,” he said.

She quotes the concerned opposition Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio, a plastic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital who has studied fat transfer...

“Animal data shows that frozen fat doesn’t hold up as well as fresh fat,” he said. Plus, he added, storing it poses “a logistical nightmare. There are better solutions.”

Del Vecchio says he would still rather harvest the fat and use it when it’s fresh. “You only need 30 to 50 cc’s for a facial procedure. You can always find that somewhere on a woman’s body. And that’s the best bank of all.” (No kidding)

Marni also reports...

Although fat-transfer procedures — minus the freezing — have been around for some time, they aren’t too common because of their mixed results. In a 2007 national consensus survey published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, the authors wrote, “Unfortunately, the clinical optimism expressed by the proponents of the procedure has not been corroborated by objective scientific assessments.”
