I saw the ABC news talk about Dr. Sharon McQuillan and her stem cell fat transfer procedure so I decided to issue the following warning:
Let me warn you that they talk about fat transfer to the face on TV all the time but I think it is largely a big scam! What I believe that many fat transfer doctors will do:
1. They compare photos from different angles to make it look like there was an improvement when there wasn't. (I am posting Mcquillan's before/after photo here, after I used my computer settings to transform it into a black and white version. I did so to emphasize how Mcquillan is comparing two different angles)
2. They claim that fat is rich in stem cells when only a small percentage is actually stem cells. They apparently get away with this because fat has a higher number of stem cells than other body tissue. Nonetheless, it is a very small number.
