Dr. Jugenburg is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who had additional training in micro-surgery.

After graduating from the University of Toronto, he continued his studies at the University of Manitoba, and he was then selected from a pool of worldwide applicants to train at the internationally-renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York City, training with some of New York’s best plastic surgeons. He has been practicing in Toronto since 2007.

He does more fat grafting procedures than any other doctor in Canada and according to him, it’s the latest trend in cosmetic procedures (approximately one new treatment per week). This procedure has really picked up in the last year and he contributes this to two things.

1. The clients are now aware that this kind of procedure is available. The procedure doesn’t have the same risks that implants can have making it a lucrative option.
2. Due to the media and stars portraying curves as being sexy and healthy, such as celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez proudly showing off their assets, it has created a demand for similar looks.

Fat grafting is the transfer of fat from one area of the body to another through liposuction and a re-injection through very small incisions. There are no implants involved and the results are very natural looking enhancements.

The surgery itself takes about two and a half hours, with a two hour prep time prior and two hours of recovery afterwards. Patients are able to return home on the same day.

Dr. Jugenberg recommends that his clients do not sit or lie on their backs for two weeks after the Brazillian Butt Lift procedure because the fat is fragile and it’s important not to traumatize or compress it to maximize the amount of fat that survives.

I questioned him as to whether he has more demand for this procedure with the Brazilian Butt Lift or for breast augmentation and he said that he does a lot more butt lifts for fat grafting because most people coming in for breast augmentation are thinner and don’t have the same levels of good harvestable fat.

He went on to say that certain fat areas are more resilient, such as stomach fat, and these are this area is optimal for harvesting.

One of the concerns from the earliest techniques of this treatment is that there can be cysts created by the fat that does not survive the injection process. This used to cause an issue with breast cancer screening processes, however with the new techniques for the injections more of the fat is able to survive and there are fewer cysts as well the screening techniques have improved, so that the machines are able to distinguish between fat cells and cancer cells.

Jugenberg has extensive experience in reconstructive surgeries, including surgeries required after extreme weight loss and in breast reconstruction following mastectomies or lumpectomies. The fat grafting procedure is also a useful tool for reconstructive surgery for women who have had a breast removed from cancer.

Fat cells are also an excellent source of stem cells (which can differentiate) and there is a lot of new research on injecting fat tissues as a tool for radiation reconstruction and scar corrections. There is tremendous potential for the fat grafting procedure and in maximizing it’s applications.
