Adult Stem Cells from Body Fat Promising
Thursday, January 30th, 2014Suzanne Somers is an Avid Supporter of Adult Stem Cells
Sunday, December 15th, 2013Stem Cell Worx caught up with Suzanne Somers today at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) Conference in Las Vegas.
Suzanne is an avid supporter and recipient of adult stem cell therapy and treatments.
In 2011 Suzanne Somers’ was among the first in the USA at that time to have breast reconstruction surgery using her own stem cells. This came about as 12 years earlier Doctors found a malignant tumor in her right breast. Back then she had a lumpectomy and radiation treatments.
“I thought they’d take a quarter’s worth,” she says. “But the whole bottom half of my breast was gone.” Six weeks of radiation “left what breast I had flatter and flatter. I had a Double D on one side and on the other side I could hardly fill a B.”
Plastic surgeon Dr. Joel Aronowitz removed fat from Somers’ stomach via liposuction. He then harvested her own stem cells from half of the fat and combined them with the remaining amount of fat that was then injected back into her breast.

As Suzanne pointed out today at the A4M “adult stem cells are the way of the future.”
Suzanne Somers is not one to hide her personal experiences and treatments. In addition to her hormone replacement therapy, she takes up to 60 health supplements a day. Suzanne is to be congratulated on educating so many on the importance of health supplementation, and the importance of getting your hormones checked and in balance.
“I take estrogen, progesterone in a cyclic manner,” admits Somers. “I just recently added in testosterone, because I was finding my libido not quite what it’s been. Every day I take DHEA. I take prognenalone (PH), which also stirs up your sex hormones.”
At 67 years of age, Suzanne looks fantastic. Her photos don’t actually do her justice. She looks slimmer and even more attractive in real life.
