Silicone and scalpels could soon be a thing of the past as ‘natural’ cosmetic surgery arrives in Europe.

The news means having a nip and tuck could become a less painful and gruesome procedure.

And the technique produces far more natural results after just one treatment, say practioners.

The new treatment, being offered in Austria, involves the use of stem cells – cells taken from the patient’s own body which have the ability to renew themselves.

They are used for silicone-free breast jobs, facelifts and wrinkle treatments, with the effects thought to be permanent.

A breast augmentation takes about eight hours and costs upwards of 7,000 Euros – about £5,500.

Practitioners are also starting to offer so-called hormonal regeneration – adminstering hormones that reverse the ageing process.

They say the treatment can make you look 15 years younger, producing a ‘radiant appearance’ and better fitness.

The therapy is based on the idea that premature ageing is a treatable deficiency disease.

“The enormous potential of new cosmetic surgery lies in the combination of these treatment strategies,” says Dr. Heinrich, Vienna-based beauty and anti-aging expert.

“Most cosmetic problems may be optimally treated this way, with perfectly natural results.

“You can’t tell the difference between a treated breast and a natural breast.”
