Bougainvillea Clinique Offers Its First In-Clinic "Lipobank"

WINTER PARK, FL--(Marketwire - Sep 7, 2011) - Bougainvillea Clinique, one of the nation's top cosmetic surgery centers, announced the creation of the first mini-lipobank, Liquid Gold™, where harvested fat is housed, once removed from the body, within a doctor's office or surgery center. The Liquid Gold LipoBank means patients can harvest and store fat for future cosmetic and reconstructive purposes. One's own fatty tissues produce natural outcomes, reduce cost of procedures, and are known to be safer than synthetic alternatives.

Liquid Gold combines an FDA-registered lipobank with state-of-the-art techniques to produce lasting results for a range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures including natural breast augmentation with the added benefit of liposuction, facial rejuvenation, breast reconstruction, improving the texture of one's skin and additional cosmetic and dermatological conditions.

"Liquid Gold is a new conversation in plastic surgery," explained Dr. Jeffrey Hartog, director of Bougainvillea. "Instead of relying on cutting, implants and injecting patients with artificial materials, the Liquid Gold approach uses a patient's own fatty tissue as the purest, longest lasting and natural product for creating a more youthful look or body shape. This approach can be used alone or to enhance other, more traditional techniques such as breast implants and facelifts."

On the night of Sept. 15, Bougainvillea Clinique will host an invitation-only walk-through of the new lipobank facility for select doctors and all members of the press. On Sept. 16 from 3 -8 p.m. the clinic will offer a walk-through open house for everyone interested in learning about this exciting alternative to traditional plastic surgery options. The event will feature live entertainment, product giveaways, reduced-fee services including Botox™ appointments, and will be catered by two much-loved area food trucks, Yum Yum and The Crooked Spoon.

Members of the press are welcome on either day and can speak with Dr. Hartog at any time that is convenient between now and then. Please contact RLM Public Relations to arrange a briefing.
