Heal Faster. Recover Smarter.
Recovering from surgery doesn’t have to mean weeks of downtime, swelling, and discomfort. At Smith Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, we offer an advanced approach to post-surgical recovery: stem cell therapy.
By tapping into the body’s natural regenerative abilities, stem cell therapy accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and improves surgical outcomes—all without additional medications or invasive procedures.
If you're preparing for cosmetic, orthopedic, or other types of surgery, here’s why stem cell therapy should be part of your recovery plan.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy uses the body’s master cells to help repair and regenerate damaged tissue. These cells have the unique ability to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve blood flow
- Repair soft tissue, cartilage, and skin
At Smith Plastic Surgery, we use adipose-derived stem cells, collected from the patient’s fat tissue, processed in-house, and reinjected into surgical or injured areas to support faster, more complete healing.
1. Faster Healing and Recovery Time
One of the top reasons patients choose stem cell therapy after surgery is to recover faster. The stem cells signal your body to ramp up the healing process.
Benefits include:
- Shorter wound-healing time
- Improved tissue regeneration
- Less swelling and bruising
- Earlier return to daily activities
Patients often notice quicker incision healing, stronger tissue formation, and reduced complications during recovery.
2. Reduced Post-Surgical Inflammation
Surgery naturally causes inflammation as your body responds to trauma. While some inflammation is necessary, too much can cause pain, swelling, and slower healing.
Stem cell therapy works by:
- Modulating the immune response
- Reducing overactive inflammation
- Calming irritated nerves and tissues
This helps minimize discomfort and makes recovery smoother and more manageable—with less reliance on anti-inflammatory medications.
3. Minimized Scarring
For patients undergoing procedures where visible scarring is a concern—such as facelifts, tummy tucks, or body lifts—stem cells can improve skin regeneration and collagen remodeling.
This means:
- Softer, more flexible scar tissue
- Lower risk of raised or thickened scars
- Improved skin tone and texture at incision sites
By supporting optimal wound healing, stem cell therapy contributes to better aesthetic results in both surgical and cosmetic procedures.
4. Lower Risk of Complications
By enhancing blood flow and cell repair, stem cell therapy helps strengthen the tissue around the surgical site—creating a more stable healing environment. This leads to:
- Fewer infections
- Lower risk of wound reopening
- Improved tissue strength
Especially beneficial for patients with pre-existing conditions (like diabetes or autoimmune issues), stem cell therapy provides an added layer of protection during recovery.
5. Enhanced Long-Term Results
Beyond initial healing, stem cell therapy supports the quality and durability of your results. Whether you're having a breast augmentation, facelift, or orthopedic surgery, the benefits extend months beyond the procedure.
Patients experience:
- Improved tissue elasticity and texture
- Long-lasting reduction in inflammation
- Better integration of surgical enhancements
This leads to higher satisfaction, fewer revisions, and more natural outcomes.
What Types of Surgeries Benefit from Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy can complement recovery after a variety of procedures, including:
Cosmetic Surgeries:
- Facelifts
- Tummy Tucks
- Liposuction
- Breast Augmentation
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Orthopedic and Joint Surgeries:
- ACL or Meniscus Repair
- Shoulder Rotator Cuff Surgery
- Hip or Knee Reconstruction
Reconstructive Procedures:
- Post-cancer surgeries
- Scar revision
- Wound healing support
Whether your surgery is elective or medically necessary, stem cell therapy can help improve both the healing process and the final result.
