Stem Cells For Nose Surgery? Probably

Stem cell research has been on for at least two decades now and has made tremendous headway in biological and other related medical studies.

Generally, research utilizes two kinds of stem cells- embryonic and adult stem cells. While human embryonic stem cells (isolated from human embryos) are a largely controversial field, studies continue.

Plastic surgery procedures like nose enhancement and corrective nose surgery could benefit from adult stem cells that occur in the adult human body and display the potential to reconstruct lost tissue or grow it non-invasively. Certain reconstructive nose implant procedures make use of synthetic materials like silicone, which could be substituted with inherently cultivated stem cell implants.

Over a period of time, soft tissue implants tend to lose at least 40-60 percent of their total volume. Stem cells, on the other hand, once they have generated the final size and shape of the tissue mass (bone, fat, cartilage, etc.) could retain the shape for a longer time.

While medical researchers have carried out studies lasting up to four weeks after introduction, more long term observation and analysis is required. The expectations are very positive from this branch of medical science though not only for nose surgery but also for other cosmetic surgery.
