The Testimonial After seeing the results of a mastopexy on her sister-in-law, who was already a patient at Image Regenerative Clinic, she decided to undergo surgery. Her testimonial is a moving story of true transformation. Motivation for Surgery Meeting Professor Tremolada was a moment of relief, as during the initial consultation he confirmed that I would feel like a different person immediately. Moreover, he took my back problem very seriously and arranged for his specialist to examine me, combining the breast reduction with orthopedic Lipogems treatment for my back. The Surgical Experience

Professor Carlo Tremolada, Scientific Director of Image Regenerative Clinic, emphasizes the fundamental difference between liposuction and lipoaspiration. While both are regenerative medicine procedures aimed at body contouring, they are distinctly different interventions. What is the difference between lipoaspiration and liposuction? Patient Case Study Sabrina L., 31, serves in the Carabinieri (Italian Military Police). Despite regular training, gym dedication, and various dietary regimens, she was unable to reduce persistent fat deposits at the junction between thighs and gluteal area, both medially and laterally. These areas proved resistant to conventional aesthetic treatments. During periods of muscle definition, when Sabrina worked with a personal trainer to maximize muscle sculpting, these problematic areas became more pronounced against her well-defined torso and calves. After discovering Image Regenerative Clinic through social media, Sabrina explored treatment options. During consultation with Prof. Tremolada, lipoaspiration combined with Lipogems technology was identified as the optimal solution for her case.

Image Regenerative Clinic, consistently focused on patient needs, serves as a reference point for mothers and their specific concerns. Regenerative medicine proves particularly suitable for restoring women affected by sleepless nights and the physical demands of motherhood. The Testimonial This was the primary reason why Chicca sought treatment at Image Regenerative Clinic. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation. Recovery was rapid, with near-immediate return to social activities. The procedure lasted approximately two hours, with visible results apparent immediately. The Lipogems methodology provided significant added value. Adipose tissue harvested from love handles was processed and reinjected into the treatment areas, particularly in the scarring areas and breast tissue. This technique contributed to accelerated healing, with scars becoming white within six days and notable skin elasticity, especially in the upper breast region. Post-operative recovery involved minimal discomfort, primarily related to the inability to sleep prone. There was no significant pain, and normal daily activities could be resumed the day following the procedure. Results and Follow-up While final results require 10-12 months for complete tissue settlement, improvements are evident within the first weeks: breasts appear firmer, natural, and have regained their original position. Follow-up is managed by a multidisciplinary team ensuring constant monitoring of the healing process and achieved results. Image Regenerative Clinic offers a comprehensive approach to post-pregnancy recovery, combining surgical procedures with non-invasive treatments such as diathermy, Coolsculpting, bio-revitalization, and specific peels, all customized to individual needs.

"My name is Patrizia and I'm pleased to share my experience with this procedure, as it represented a transformative experience for me. The procedure itself was remarkably straightforward. The most challenging aspect was making the initial decision and accepting the need for intervention. After multiple consultations with various surgeons, I repeatedly attempted to address the concerns with dermal fillers and skin tightening treatments. However, the results were temporary, requiring repeated interventions and affecting my confidence. Upon consulting Professor Tremolada, recommended by an acquaintance, he proposed a facelift. Initially, I was skeptical, questioning the recommendation at age 39. However, his assessment was accurate - the ptosis around the perioral region and mandibular border required lifting rather than volume augmentation, which risked further compromising the lower facial aesthetics. The prospect initially caused significant anxiety: I associated facelifts with extensive procedures for older demographics. I anticipated prolonged post-operative recovery with extensive bandaging and visible surgical hardware. Professor Tremolada's assurance of next-day mobility with minimal covering seemed improbable. His international surgical reputation and expertise were well-documented. The photographic documentation of similar cases demonstrated remarkable results at 24 hours post-procedure. He detailed how these accelerated recoveries were facilitated by Lipogems, his patented regenerative technology, utilizing autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue to treat facial tissues and surgical sites, enhancing healing processes. I opted for the facelift with Lipogems integration due to the local anesthesia protocol, approximate two-hour duration, and potential return to professional activities within days. Despite initial apprehension, the procedure was painless. Standard dental procedures typically involve more discomfort. Recovery commenced within two hours, with brief post-operative monitoring. A compression dressing protected the minimal periauricular incisions, with immediate visible improvement in facial contours, notably without cutaneous trauma. At the following day's assessment, removal of compression dressing revealed optimal results with minimal periauricular edema. The incisions were precisely placed within natural auricular folds, with minimal suture visibility. Standard bob-length hair provided adequate camouflage, enabling social activities that evening. "Facelift procedures without Lipogems integration are becoming obsolete, as the technology optimizes recovery intervals, enhances outcomes, and provides progressive improvement." - Professor Carlo Tremolada

Interview with Prof. Tremolada Khadim and ALMaUST Khadim is a 28-year-old Senegalese man who was the victim of an acid attack in Dakar. Today, thanks to the supporters of ALMaUST, a foundation that assists victims of severe burns, Khadim has been able to reach Europe and undergo essential surgical procedures to preserve his vision and partially restore his face. The patient is receiving treatment at Niguarda Hospital and has undergone Lipogems treatment at Istituto Image. Lipogems treatment for acid burns represents a significant innovation in regenerative medicine. The technology utilizes the regenerative properties of autologous adipose tissue, rich in mesenchymal stromal cells, which support tissue healing and modulate inflammatory response. This therapeutic approach offers promising results in treating corrosive substance injuries, where traditional methods often show limited efficacy.

The Need for Regeneration Since 2009, Istituto Image has been a leading elite clinic in Milan. It was established as Italy's first Urban Medi Spa, offering an escape from urban intensity for relaxation and wellness. A specialized medical team (aesthetic physicians, maxillofacial surgeons, plastic-reconstructive surgeons, dermatologists, genetic-nutritionists, gynecologists), along with professional therapists and osteopaths, provides comprehensive care. Services range from skincare treatments to reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery, including anti-aging dermatology and corrective aesthetic medicine, with customized patient programs. The clinic's flagship innovation is the Image Regenerative Method developed by Professor Tremolada, Image's Scientific Director. This advanced technology utilizes the regenerative properties of microfractured adipose tissue through the Lipogems system, which preserves tissue structural integrity and mesenchymal stem cells. Applications extend from aesthetic procedures, including facial regeneration, wrinkle reduction, and body contouring, to orthopedic treatments for joint pathologies, arthritis, and tendinopathies. The technology is also applied in gynecology for tissue regeneration. From Urban Medi Spa to Regenerative Clinic The need for change emerged from the exponential development of regenerative medicine and the center's continuous evolution. To maintain our high standard of patient care, Image required transformation and advancement. This led to the establishment of the new clinic at Via Mascagni 14. Near San Babila, the facility features 11 medical and therapeutic rooms equipped with advanced technology for diverse treatment needs. Within an exceptional interior design - created by a renowned Milanese architect - the facility houses three operating rooms where Professor Tremolada and his expert medical team perform plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic, and regenerative medicine procedures. This center of Italian excellence combines scientific expertise with advanced technology to ensure natural, harmonious results with optimal safety. We welcome you to Via Pietro Mascagni 14 in Milan, steps away from our original clinic location since 2009.
