In Anticipation of New Website, Syd Coleman Starts Tweeting

The completely renovated lipostructure.com website will be online by early February. In anticipation, I will begin tweeting from on a regular basis at Syd Coleman @lipostructure to inform people of the potential of LipoStructure® and advances in the use of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose derived stem cells.

LipoStructure® is the particular brand of fat grafting developed by me in the late 1980’s and now used worldwide. As fat grafting has become more popular, people have noted that the fat does more than fill; it can repair and rejuvenate the tissues into which it is placed.

Recent scientific studies have determined that fat tissue has the highest concentration of stem cells of any tissue in the body. These “stem cells” appear to repair damage in our bodies. I have seen improvement in skin quality and scarring in my own patients over the last two decades.

Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is the name for fat tissue with the fat cells removed. The SVF is composed of a very high concentration of stem cells. Research is ongoing to determine the benefits of SVF in treating a variety of conditions seen in plastic surgery and many other medical specialties.

Male Chest Pectoral Muscle Enhancement with Fat Grafting

Dr. Coleman — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:44:16 +0000

While fat grafting to the female breast has been growing in popularity, chest enhancement with fat grafting is available to men as well.

Before Dr. Coleman ever placed fat into the breast of women in 1995, he performed successful fat transplants to the male chest to enhance shape and size of the pectoralis muscle. These procedures were usually performed on men who were already muscular through weight training and diet, but had reached a plateau. Not only can fat grafting to the pectoral muscle increase chest size, it can also improve definition of the inner and lower lines of the chest.

The donor fat is usually harvested from the patient’s lovehandles, flanks or abdomen and is transplanted to the chest muscles. Most people can return to work in a few days, and return to their gym routine between one and two weeks after surgery. The patient will like the way they look a few days after the procedure, the bruising and swelling takes months to completely resolve.

This 29-year-old man (left) presents for enhancement of his chest, both enlargement and increased definition. He had considered the use of silicone implants, but felt that they gave fullness but not definition. One year after one fat grafting to the medial chest and lower chest he returned delighted with the enlargement and defined shape of his chest.

Fat Grafting can also be performed to the male chest to repair muscle tears and create a healthier appearance.

Treating Facial War Injuries with Coleman Fat Grafts Update

Dr. Coleman — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 20:00:11 +0000

A New Report of United States Department of Defense Project to Study the Use of Coleman Fat Grafts in Facial War Injuries

Dr. Coleman continues to travel monthly to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) to operated on soldiers with facial war injuries using Coleman Fat Grafts. The Sunday Pittsburgh Post-Gazette updated their previous report of the ongoing studies at UPMC. The following is an excerpt from the news article:

Sculpting with fat can restore faces (excerpt of original article)

New techniques use fat cells to smooth visages of veterans devastated by injury

Sunday, March 06, 2011
By Mark Roth, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Robin Rombach/Post-Gazette Jeremy Feldbusch lost his sight after a piece of artillery shrapnel tore through his skull in Iraq in 2003. He underwent a new procedure that transferred fat from other parts of his body to fill in the side temple area of his head

Jeremy Feldbusch lost his sight after a piece of artillery shrapnel tore through his skull in Iraq in 2003. He underwent a new procedure that transferred fat from other parts of his body to fill in the side temple area of his head.

Jeremy Feldbusch can’t see the results of the special cosmetic surgery he recently got — but he’s pleased when people tell him what a good job the doctors did.

Mr. Feldbusch is blind because a piece of artillery shrapnel tore through his skull in Iraq in 2003. In January, UPMC surgeon J. Peter Rubin took fat from his abdomen and thighs and injected it into cavities that his war injuries had left on his face.

Dr. Rubin, recently named chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at UPMC, has received $4.5 million from the Department of Defense for his fat resculpting project, and so far has performed the surgery on 11 injured veterans.

Using techniques developed by New York plastic surgeon Sydney Coleman, who has assisted on the surgeries here, Dr. Rubin’s team removes fat cells from a patient’s body, centrifuges them to collect the most active cells, and injects theminto injury sites using tiny tubes that can be as narrow as an intravenous needle .Fat injections have been used in cosmetic surgery for years, but the problem has been that in many cases, the fat is absorbed by surrounding tissues and the work has to be done over.

Dr. Coleman’s centrifuge technique is designed to prevent that by concentrating the fat cells, which helps them to thrive and grow new blood vessels once they are injected.

In a broader sense, Dr. Rubin’s project is part of a fast-growing movement around the world to use fat stem cells to generate new tissues for all sorts of conditions, from breast reconstruction to growing new bone.

Most human tissues contain stem cells that can generate new cells of the same type to promote healing. Fat stem cells can not only grow new fat cells, but in the lab, they have been turned into bone, cartilage, skin and muscle.

In Japan, doctors have now used fat stem cell injections in hundreds of women for breast enlargements, and report that the women think the results feel and look much more natural than synthetic implants, he said.

UPMC’s Dr. Rubin is also working with fat stem cells for reconstruction in women who have had breast cancer. Because stem cells can promote tissue growth and new blood supply, there has been some concern that these injections might trigger a recurrence of the breast cancer, he said, “but our best evidence now shows if you have dormant cancer cells present, they are not likely to be reactivated by fat stem cells.”

While some of the fat that Dr. Rubin injected into Mr. Feldbusch and the other injured soldiers consists of stem cells as well, the next step of his research will be to grow additional fat stem cells in the lab and “enrich” the mixture of fat cells that are put into the injury sites.

Fat stem cells, like those now growing in Mr. Feldbusch’s face, have two complementary benefits

In some cases, they remain fat cells when they are put in the body, but can promote blood vessel growth and healing in other tissues, which has been shown in experimental work on heart disease patients. In other cases, they can morph into completely different kinds of tissue

And they have one other advantage, Dr. Gimble said: People are happy to donate them. “There is no other tissue that someone will actually pay their doctors to take out of them,” he said.

Dr. Coleman of New York featured in an Article in The Times Magazine

Dr. Coleman — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 23:56:45 +0000

An excerpt of the article written by Hermione Hoby for the London Times Magazine follows:

“The Surgeon Who Injects Women with Fat

Well, they do ask him to… Just when we’ve got used to fillers for the face, along comes a remarkable body resculpting technique”

Dr. Sydney Coleman holding a fat grafting cannula in his operating theater surrounded by his nurse, physician's assistant, and centrifuge Photo by Mike McGregor

“It is the last place in the world you’d expect to hear someone praising fat. But, in a chic Manhattan plastic-surgery clinic populated by impossibly lean women, Dr Sydney Coleman is doing just that, while explaining a new technique with radical implications for cosmetic and reconstructive work.

LipoStructure, or lipomodelling as it’s also known, involves taking a patient’s own body fat and reinjecting it to sculpt, fill, correct and enhance other areas. We may have got used to the idea of injectable fillers for the face; now it’s body recontouring that’s the growth industry. And, for more and more surgeons, fat is the tool of choice. In the right hands, the results are extraordinary: it can fill scars and hollows, smooth creases, retouch cellulite dimples, as well as plump and sculpt breasts and bottoms.

One of the most popular procedures Dr Coleman offers is taking fat from the abdomen and reinjecting it into the breasts, which is, as one surgeon puts it, “the answer to a maiden’s prayer” – weight loss, waist definition and breast enhancement all in one procedure.

But aren’t people squeamish about using their own fat? “They love it,” Dr Coleman says, with a big smile. “The abdomen and love handles are always my first choice because that makes the woman thinner.” Fat can, of course, be taken from anywhere it’s not wanted on the body and, as Dr Coleman says, “There’s no blood and no cuts. There are just these little puncture sites.”

Coleman first started investigating fat-grafting in the late Eighties when, he explains, “I’d go to a cocktail party and women would pull me aside and complain about their thighs and abdomens after liposuction. So that was the original motivation – to help these women who were coming to me saying, ‘What am I supposed to do now?’?”

Back when liposuction was a new procedure, many surgeons would remove too much fat from thighs, leaving them hollowed and irregular, he says. “I visited people in California and Virginia and spoke to people in France who were doing fat-grafting for the correction of liposuction deformities, but they’d never had good experiences. So I looked at what they were doing and tried to do it a little differently. I tried to bring it down to more basic principles.”

The principles may be basic, but the work is also extremely precise. Coleman’s technique involves harvesting fat very gently through low-vacuum cannulas before using a centrifuge to separate the oil and water. (Traditional liposuction techniques, which involve exerting a lot of negative pressure, can harm the fat and increase the chances of it dying once it’s been grafted, meaning it forms hard lumps.) The treated fat is then reinjected, one droplet at a time, in a lattice formation. It’s a delicate and painstaking process, with no room for error.

The surgery’s “two-for-one” aspect is not its only appeal. Unlike most conventional breast augmentation surgery, there is no scarring. There are also none of the aesthetic and practical problems that come with implants, and fat-grafting affords the surgeon more control – and room for artistry. “With silicone, you’ve got a bag and you make a hole and stuff it in the hole,” says Dr Coleman. “It’s a prefabricated volume. But with fat-grafting, you have to completely visualise everything in three dimensions. You can really shape the breast and improve projection and I’m able to go anywhere – to make cleavage, to feather into the side.” Some of the most impressive before-and-after pictures he shows involve subtle but radical changes to breast shape: an obvious implant, for example, is edged with fat and instantly becomes natural-looking.

Linda Francipane, a 44-year-old hairdresser from Queens, was an early patient of Dr Coleman’s and underwent breast augmentation surgery having spent “many, many months” researching her options. This included speaking to a lot of strippers about their implants. “I’d say 40 to 50 per cent had some kind of issue with them – whether they leaked, or the look, or the feel,” she says.

She was nonetheless determined to do something about her flat chest. “You’d be out clubbing,” she says, “and all the hot girls had tremendous boobs and I really had nothing, like nothing. This was the time when everybody was getting implants and I was like a little boy. I just wanted to get in the game.”

When a friend told her about Dr Coleman’s technique, “It seemed like a fabulous alternative to putting something foreign in my body.” She went from “below an A” to a 36C and says, “The way he did them, you can’t tell. It’s terrific. It changed my life.” She says she’s still receiving compliments.

Tal, a 36-year-old from Portland, Oregon, is another of Dr Coleman’s patients. She had implants when she was 19 but was so dissatisfied, she had them removed after just nine months. “I couldn’t breathe properly. It was just a very foreign feeling,” she explains.

As soon as she heard about breast augmentation by fat-grafting, she booked a consultation with Dr Coleman. “I thought nothing could be worse than what I had, so, even if he messed up, it would still be better. I had nerve damage from the breast implants, and stretch marks, and some scarring from under the nipple where it had been cut open. The tissue gets so stretched that I was actually flatter after breast implants.”

She wanted “breasts that were heavier at the bottom – a kind of Seventies look. I wasn’t comfortable being showy – my identity is really that of a flat-chested girl. It’s hard to create a natural-looking shape; I don’t know how he does it, but it’s just perfect – exactly what I wanted. He’s an artist. I don’t know if I’d trust anyone else.”

Tal also adds, “I don’t even wear a bra,” before laughing and reflecting, “I probably should, since I made such a large investment.””

Dr Sydney Coleman Lectures on LipoStructure Worldwide

Dr. Coleman — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:46:48 +0000

Although the technique of fat grafting that Dr. Coleman introduced in the early 1990’s was a powerful tool, he is constantly working to improve the technique. Over the last six years, Dr. Coleman has refined his version of fat grafting to not only create a more predictable fullness, but also to regenerate aging, radiation-damaged, sun-damaged and scarred skin much more dependably.

Dr. Coleman is currently participating in research at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and NYU Langone Medical Center, as well as collaborating with several foreign projects. He is committed to improving the care of patients by constantly striving to advance our knowledge of fat grafting and especially of its regenerative potential. Today’s version of Coleman fat grafting is more reliable compared to ten years ago, or even four or five years ago.

As a result of the improvements in the Coleman technique, he has been teaching a great deal recently all over the world. We recently updated on his blog almost two years of the lectures, panels, conferences, seminars, and workshops he has given Worldwide. We are proud of his contributions to plastic surgery and medicine as he continues to advance and study the use of fat grafting.

Update on Coleman Fat Grafting to the Nose

Dr. Coleman — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 19:38:41 +0000

You may remember this person who I showed you on my blog 2 ½ years ago (at that time she was only one year after her first procedure). She returned to my office for a Zeltiq treatment, extremely satisfied with her appearance now. I was able to obtain photographs of her that are now one year after her second (and final) nasal procedure with me.

She had been operated upon by some of the most famous nasal surgeons in the world. One year after her second procedure, you can see remarkable softening of the irregular cartilages along with an apparent thickening of the skin over the entire nose.

Patient presented after 12 procedures which left her as a nasal cripple (left) with irregular cartilage, bone and GorTex visible through her thin nose skin. Placement of LipoStructure® over the entire surface of the nose from brows to the tip transforms her nose (right)

: One year after her second fat grafting procedure her nose finally looks normal (right)

A thin layer of fat placed immediately beneath the skin creates support for the skin and covers irregularities from visible pieces of cartilage and bone. Concentration of the fat grafts into specific areas may improve the light reflex down the middle of the nose or change the proportion of one part of the nose to another.

Vogue Magazine Explains Coleman Fat Grafting

Dr. Coleman — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:12:33 +0000

In October’s Vogue Magazine Catherine Piercy Reports How Coleman Fat Transplantation Works

“In a nutshell, here’s how it works: Fat is suctioned from the abdomen, love handles, or back—’anywhere there’s excess,’ says Coleman—using low-pressure liposuction, and is transferred to another area of the body through a series of precise injections with a syringe-like instrument. There, the tiny blood vessels within the fat will connect to the tissue around it and take up residence in their new environment. Once it settles into place, you may see more than an increase in volume. ’The quality of the skin—its color, its texture—improves,’ says Coleman, who also notes a softening in the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. That’s because fat is loaded with adult stem cells—as many as one million per cubic centimeter, by recent estimates—making it ‘a dynamic, living form of repair and rejuvenation.’”

This is an excerpt from an article named “BLOW UP” in Vogue Magazine October 2010, about fat grafting for changing body contours featuring the developer of LipoStructure, Sydney Coleman, a New York City Plastic Surgeon.

CREATING CURVES WITH FAT GRAFTING

by Catherine Piercy

“For bigger jobs, fat grafting by injection—reinjecting one’s own fat into areas that have steadily deflated with time—is emerging as an exciting recontouring tool.

Once something of a fringe procedure, fat grafting was pioneered by Coleman in the mid-eighties, when the emergence of liposuction meant that large volumes of fat were suddenly available. These days, surgeons travel from around the world to learn his trademark LipoStructure technique. And while pharmaceutical giants are racing to develop synthetic counter-parts for big-picture recontouring—like Macrolane, the hyaluronic acid-based filler that has received mixed reviews in Europe, where it’s approved for use—plastic surgeons agree that the unique advantages of fat, which is easily recognized by the body and, once grafted, may last anywhere from several years to a lifetime, make it

a particularly appealing body-sculpting medium.”

…in its present incarnation, doctors agree that fat grafting offers some uncommon advantages…to address common liposuction deformities, a corrective dose of fat can restore feminine angles and lost definition to overtreated arms, abdomens, or thighs…fat grafting to the posterior can add back some significant lift. For an extra boost, a few c.c.s in the crease where your bottom meets your thigh pushes everything out and up.”

FDA Clears Freezing Fat for Reduction

Dr. Coleman — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 23:23:50 +0000

Dr. Sydney Coleman of New York City reports that ZELTIQ RECEIVED FDA CLEARANCE FOR PATENTED NON-INVASIVE COOLING TREATMENT FOR FAT REDUCTION

“CoolSculpting”

Great news for men and women with exercise and diet-resistant problem areas such as “love handles.” CoolSculpting, a type of cryolipolysis, is now cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the non-invasive reduction of fat. The procedure delivers a safe, and clinically proven method for the selective reduction of small volumes of excess fat in the body. CoolSculpting had already been cleared for use in the European Union and other international markets. Worldwide, more than 7,000 patients have already been treated.

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive procedure for persons who are not overweight, but have localized fat deposits despite diet and exercise. While traditional liposuction and laser liposuction are invasive surgical procedures, CoolSculpting is an exciting new approach that is non-invasive. The CoolSculpting device gently cools unwanted fat cells beneath the surface of the skin to induce a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells. Clinical studies have shown significant, durable, and reliable results with the device without the potential risks and downtime of invasive procedures.

Dr. Sydney Reese Coleman has been using the ZELTIQ CoolSculpting device in his office in TriBeCa for over two years now and was involved in the original FDA clinical trials. Dr. Coleman is also the lead author of the clinical study that examined the efficacy and safety of this exciting new technology. The fat reductions initially observed and reported in the published paper appear to be stable. A preview of the article authored by Dr. Coleman can be viewed as a pdf from the journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The article can be seen in its entirely by accessing the Journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. For a review of the paper, check out Aesthetic Device Review.

On average, the CoolSculpting procedure results in more than a 20% reduction of fat in the treated area, and patients can start to see results as soon as three weeks following treatment, with the more dramatic results occurring over a period of two to four months in most cases.

Zeltiq cooling device applied to abdomen of above patient

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery or downtime. During the procedure, Dr. Coleman or one of his staff applies a non-invasive applicator to the skin surface of the area to be treated. The applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to specifically target underlying fat, leaving surface skin tissue unaffected. Treatments last from one to two hours, depending on the size of the area to be treated, and whether there are two “sides” involved. Most patients say they feel a little tugging and a cold sensation for about 5 minutes, but are usually discomfort-free for the remaining 55 minutes of the hour long treatment. Treatments can be done on multiple areas during one session, but each specific area is treated individually. Patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment. Follow up is usually scheduled for about 8 weeks after treatment to assess the results. If a patient desires further treatment in the same area, he or she can have it done at that time.

Zeltiq Cooling Procedure 2 months (middle) & 3 months after application to lower abdomen

Closeup of above pictures before (left) and two months after (right)

Less fat can be pinched in this patient at 3 months after Zeliq procedure by Dr. Coleman

Developed at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the CoolSculpting breakthrough is based on extensive scientific research that demonstrates that your body’s fat cells are susceptible to cold applied through your skin. The targeted fat cells are selectively, painlessly, and permanently destroyed. This process is known as Cryolipolysis (cold fat cell destruction). Starting several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis (natural cell death) and begin to shrink and disappear. Data submitted to the FDA from comprehensive multi-center clinical studies validated that CoolSculpting kills fat cells in the area treated based on histological (microscopic) and ultrasound assessment.

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is not intended as a weight-reduction program for overweight individuals. The best candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure are persons near their ideal body weight who eat well and exercise regularly but have pockets of fat that persist. They are seeking long-lasting spot reduction, but are not interested in a surgical procedure with its inherent expense, downtime, and risks.

Dr. Coleman was recently interviewed by CBS News concerning Cryolipolysis. Please go to the CBS website link to watch the video of the news piece and to read the script. Please note, you will need to click on the video located in the upper right hand corner of the page.
