Cosmetic surgery practice of Mark Berman, MD, in Santa Monica, offering fat grafting and stem cell treatment using cells taken from the patient's own fat.
Mark Berman, MD, runs a cosmetic surgery practice in Santa Monica, California, and has been in practice since 1983. He treats patients directly. The site states he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and of the American Board of Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgery, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
The core surgical work is breast augmentation and fat grafting, which the practice calls the 'Space Lift' — a procedure that moves a patient's own fat to restore facial volume. The site says Dr Berman has developed his own surgical techniques and patented devices used in these procedures.
Stem cell treatment is also offered, using cells obtained from the patient's own fat deposits, and the site says Dr Berman opened the California Stem Cell Treatment Center in Rancho Mirage, California, to expand this work. The site does not publish a specific list of the medical conditions treated with cells, nor details of how the cells are processed or under what regulatory arrangement they are given. Those are important questions to raise at consultation.
The site does not publish a clear list of medical conditions treated with cell therapy; ask what evidence supports use in your specific condition.
The main office is in Santa Monica, California, on Ocean Avenue. The site also refers to the California Stem Cell Treatment Center in Rancho Mirage, California, which Dr Berman opened. He has practised since 1983. The website does not publish opening hours, languages spoken other than English, or any dedicated service for patients travelling from abroad.
No prices are published for surgery or for stem cell treatment. Cosmetic surgery and cell-based treatments are normally paid for out of pocket; ask for a written quote covering the whole course of treatment.
