- 5 Futuristic Fat Treatments: The Natural Filler of the Future: According to Johnny Franco, M.D., "Some of the promising developments in the field of futuristic fat transfer include fat banking, fat processing and methods to enhance fat take rates. A company called Tissue Cell Technologies has been developing technology that allows fat to be stored for future use. The future holds the potential for us to bank the idea of performing liposuction, storing fat and using it at a later date. Imagine in the context of the weight loss revolution, being able to perform liposuction, store the fat and then use it for targeted, isolated fat transfers to areas of the body where it's most desired. This could revolutionize how we sculpt and shape our bodies, allowing us to achieve the aesthetic appearance we dream of by placing fat where we want it and not where we don't. The fat could also be stored after a mommy makeover and then utilized for facial fillers, hand rejuvenation or any future aesthetic enhancements without the need for more liposuction."
