In January of 2011, Dr. Lewis Obi became one of the first surgeons in the
United States to utilize the Adivive autologous fat grafting procedure, the
first FDA-approved fat processing unit pioneered by MediKahn and
Palomar Medical Technology.
The Adivive system is especially ideal for breast cancer patients and the
reconstruction of breasts for women avoiding the use of breast implants
or complicated flap procedures. Using one’s own stem cell concentrated fat for reconstruction is a viable alternative and can often times be
performed without general anesthesia. Obviously the complexities of
flap/implant reconstruction and their inherent risks are also avoided.

Recently, actress Suzanne Somers revealed that she received a stem cell
breast reconstruction procedure after her battle with breast cancer. After
refusing the typical pre- and post-cancer treatments, Somers held series
of meetings with Dr. Yoshimura, Dr. Lewis Obi’s Adivive colleague, and
became of the first women in the U.S. to receive this breakthrough
procedure. L.A. plastic surgeon Joel Aronowitz performed Suzanne Somers' stem cell concentrated fat grafting procedure. On her series “Suzanne Somers Breaking Through” she revealed not only her story, but also a video
chronicling her surgery.

Ironically, both Dr. Aronowitz and Dr. Lewis Obi were featured in Plastic
Surgery Practice magazine recently. Dr. Obi was the cover story for the
June 2011 PSP edition whereas Dr. Aronowitz was featured in a story for
the January 2012 PSP issue. Dr. Obi is also one of the leading plastic surgeons in the United States to perform such cutting-edge procedures
and continues to explore new and innovative techniques in plastic surgery. The creative environment that has been established at the Obi Plastic Surgery Clinic provides patients with many more choices
both in the area of reconstructive as well as aesthetic plastic surgery. We
invite you to explore Dr. Obi’s work with Adivive patients and view before and after photos of Adivive results.
