Back before Christmas, I tried a major facial rejuvenation procedure which involved having fat removed from my thighs, mined for its stem cells, then reinjected into my face. 

This is a procedure that uses stem cells and fat taken from your own body to rejuvenate the face. We think of stem cells as something you find in the bone marrow – but you also find them in adult fat cells. Stem cells are the healing cells of the body and if they are extracted and reinjected in the face they can help regenerate the facial tissues.

It's rather more than a tweakment, as it involved liposuction to extract the fat, and was done in an operating theatre at the Cadogan Clinic in central London by leading plastic surgeon Tunc Tiryaki. 

Here's a video I've made to talk about the whole experience.

This procedure costs around £7,000 at the Cadogan Clinic www.cadoganclinic.com. For details of Mr Tiryaki's work, see www.tunctiryaki.co.uk

I didn’t pay for the procedure as I was a demo model for a surgical meeting.
