Exosomes

Exosomes are microscopic structures produced by almost every cell in the body. They are rich in proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids and facilitate healing by delivering signals to surrounding cells.

Cutting-Edge Regenerative Solutions

Exosomes play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication and have become one of the most exciting advancements in regenerative medicine. For patients undergoing reconstructive surgery, particularly in complex cases involving tissue loss due to cancer, trauma, or congenital deformities, exosomes offer a cutting-edge solution that enhances the body’s natural ability to heal. By utilizing the power of exosomes, Dr. Anastasiya Quimby accelerates healing, reduces scarring, and improves functional and aesthetic outcomes for her patients.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles released by cells into their surrounding environment. They are part of the body’s natural communication system, enabling cells to send biochemical signals to one another. Exosomes contain proteins, lipids, and various types of RNA that can influence the behavior of recipient cells. These vesicles are particularly abundant in stem cells and are known for their ability to regenerate and repair tissues. When used in medical treatments, exosomes can help stimulate cell growth, repair damaged tissues, and reduce inflammation—key factors in effective healing.

When Are Exosomes Used?

For patients undergoing reconstructive surgery, the primary goal is not just to restore function but also to improve the aesthetic appearance of the affected area. Exosomes offer a revolutionary approach to achieving these goals by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Here are some ways exosomes play a pivotal role in regenerative reconstruction.

Accelerating Healing

Exosomes can expedite the body’s natural repair mechanisms. By promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, they help regenerate tissue at a faster rate, which is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant tissue loss due to cancer removal, trauma, or congenital conditions.

Reducing Inflammation

Inflammation is a natural response to injury, but excessive inflammation can delay healing and increase the risk of complications. Exosomes contain anti-inflammatory proteins and molecules that help regulate the body’s immune response, reducing inflammation and allowing for more efficient tissue repair.

Minimizing Scarring

Scarring is a common concern for patients undergoing reconstructive surgery. Exosomes help by encouraging healthy tissue growth and reducing fibrotic tissue formation, which can lead to less noticeable scarring. This is especially important for patients undergoing facial reconstruction, where aesthetics are critical to the recovery process.

Promoting Collagen Production

Collagen is a key protein in the skin and connective tissues, providing structure and strength. Exosomes stimulate the production of collagen, which helps restore the skin's elasticity and firmness, leading to better overall outcomes for patients recovering from surgery.

Supporting Vascularization

In reconstructive surgery, especially in microvascular procedures, ensuring proper blood flow to the grafted tissue is essential for successful outcomes. Exosomes promote angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels—which enhances the survival of transplanted tissues and improves long-term results.

Why Choose Dr. Quimby?

Dr. Anastasiya Quimby is at the forefront of regenerative reconstruction, combining her extensive training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, oncology, and microvascular reconstruction with advanced therapies like exosome treatment. Her multidisciplinary approach, with expertise in dentistry, medicine, ENT, oncology, and plastic surgery, allows her to create a comprehensive treatment plan that promotes quicker recovery and superior results. The AQ Surgery practice is rooted in precise diagnosis, personalized, patient-centered care, and enhancing patients' quality of life after treatment by restoring both function and aesthetics.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Exosome therapy for regenerative reconstruction is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in conjunction with surgery or as a standalone treatment to enhance healing. Dr. Quimby injects the exosome solution directly into the surgical site during reconstructive surgery. The exosomes begin working immediately, delivering signals that promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall healing. Patients may also receive exosome injections post-operatively to support the recovery process further.
