Personal Storage (Bio Insurance)
Liposuction is consistently the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure, with nearly 400,000 procedures performed in 2023.* Many patients opt for a fat transfer (moving it from one body area to another) at the same time. But what can you do with the “leftover” fat (other than discard it)?
Many plastic surgeons believe that adipose tissue (aka. fat) is “liquid gold,” and throwing it away is a mistake. This fat is rich in stem and regenerative cells and can be used in many ways (some of which may not have been invented yet). With T&TC’s technology, now you can save this liquid gold for use at a later date!

Why Fat
- Fat is a huge and easily accessed store of stem cells. As we age, our stem cells grow weaker and generally less capable. So storing them makes sense
LipoStor®
LipoStor is our most cost-effective solution for long-term fat storage. You can bank up to 250ml and pay one up-front charge for fat processing. Your storage subscription is paid quarterly, and each thaw (retrieval) after a minimum of five years is charged separately with a single flat fee (courier costs also apply).
Sample Manipulation
Some surgeons may want to have modifications made to your fat after thawing. These may include removing certain cell types or volumes, isolating and separating certain cell types and tissue, etc. These can all be safely and reliably done in-house by T&CT in consultation with your surgeon.
Cell Expansion
Stem cells are the new buzzword, and many doctors and hospitals are investigating potential therapies and procedures using expanded cells. T&CT has considerable experience with cell expansion techniques and a ‘Specials’ license from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to produce unlicensed medicines for human use.
MySkin, CryoSkin, & Wound Healing
T&CT developed an autologous spray skin product for extreme burns and wounds. A small skin sample is required, and cells from this are cultured and delivered back to the clinic for application through a spray suspension. MySkin has been used in all of the NHS’s five major burns Centres of Excellence since 2009.
