Interweaving Ancient Myths with Cutting-Edge Science, our quest for extended healthspan and lifespan harnesses Surgical Stem Cell Treatments, Cellular information updates as Exosomes and even our Mind's Role in Aging and Disease.
A pursuit of human dignity against age-related illnesses and suffering, Dr. Tiryaki is urging us to Stay Confident, Innovate, and Reprogram Our Cells. Mr. Tunc Tiryaki is a world-leading consultant plastic surgeon, renowned for his ground-breaking work in facial regeneration, where he was one of the first surgeons in the world to use fat derived stem cells in mini facelift procedures. Mr. Tiryaki is the Chair of the Humanitarian Programs of ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) and founder of ISAPS-LEAP Surgical Relief Teams that conducts volunteer reconstructive surgery operations all around the world.
With a special interest in facial surgery and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, Mr. Tiryaki employs cutting-edge techniques to enhance and refine, delivering natural, youthful results without visible scars. His unrivalled skill, exceptional results and surgical finesse saw him named one of the ‘BEST FACELIFT SURGEONS IN THE UK’ by Tatler Magazine.
As one of the few face-lift specialists in the UK, Mr. Tiryaki practices in London and his native Istanbul. He lectures around the world on his innovative methods and is highly sought after for his knowledge, expertise and commitment to research and innovation.
Mr Tiryaki has led a team of internationally-acclaimed plastic surgeons at the pinnacle of the industry alongside biotechnology and genetic engineers from Harvard University to develop the next biggest innovation in anti-ageing. Four years of research and development into the field of exosomes has culminated in the development of a revolutionary new-generation skincare and wound-healing product, set to launch in late 2022.
Widely published, Mr. Tiryaki is a section editor for the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal and has authored several internationally published publications on regenerative facelifts and micro-lifting, as well as the first medical textbook on inverse abdominoplasty. He also sits on several boards, including Lipocube, a medical device used for regenerative procedures which he helped invent. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Okay where do I get the cream that those people around the 5:30 had?
The work on facial rejuvenation is groundbreaking.
The potential for extending our healthspan is exciting.
I want to know where to get it from also
Why would a talk like this from this person get a disclaimer? He obviously has the knowledge and background to discuss it like he has. It's exciting and groundbreaking work that needs to be heard.
Yes! I've seen lots of disclaimers like this on talks that really don't need it? Maybe it's just an automated thing if there aren't links to certain studies provided?
I think it's to do with their guidelines, certain points not being met etc.
Yeah I never understand why certain talks get flagged and others don't...
It's crazy, it's not like he isn't a doctor.
Ted drives me crazy at times also....
I'm just really hanging out for those creams and also exosome treatments to become so popularized that they come down in price a bit. Last time I looked it did not seem very affordable for any of us "normal" people
Anything that is worth it costs more - that is why it is worth it.
This is rich people's stuff, not for me.
Not sure I'd try it but really interesting.
Okay I am in, where do I get this in Ohio?
In Turkey? Really? This seems to LA!!!!!
The acknowledgment that we might not 'win the war' is refreshing. A realistic perspective, but the hope and fight against aging shine through. Excited to see where the science takes us!
got me rethinking my entire skincare routine, haha.
this talk was a trip! makes you wonder about the future of aging.
Makes you think twice about the whole anti-aging industry.
the way you put it... really makes you think about what we're chasing after in life.
the quest for youth is endless, but should it be?
I just did my very first Exosome treatment, I've done microneedling many times, and it made such a difference in my skin texture, but after this exosome treatment, I can't believe how blurred my skin looks. My makeup goes on sooooo smooth. (no the avatar is not it lol)
Are you sure it's safe???
Exosomes Are not stem cells.....
MHO - cant we being looking for science cures at more important things?
This is such exciting work, I love science.
@@julianfritzer I think this is plenty important for a lot of people
Exciting and frightening all at the same time. Considering history often repeats itself, chasing youth is one thing, and the increase in disease isn't left behind. Dignity over vanity says so much more about ageing and why young thinking creates a future for aged celebration. Amazing talk!
i'm all for aging with grace, but also can't help but get excited about the scientific breakthroughs. it's a weird mix of emotions tbh.
Amazing insight! It's fascinating how our perceptions of aging are evolving, especially with advancements in science and medicine.
ain't nothing wrong with getting older, it's a privilege denied to many!
@KayleneLindauer You can have that wisdom and still look good 💁🏻♀
@@AshleyBianco-mp2dt Haha I get what you mean! Personally I can't wait for my silvery-grey hair to come in but also... I'd like to not have wrinkles yano?
The way he talks about this science and blends it with stories about his dad was kind of really lovely? Almost like an homage. You can see the influence he's had and it's so wholesome and positive to see
I thought that too! So nice that they intersected like that ❤
The story about his Dads battle with cancer makes this so much deeper. There are very personal and human attachments within wanting this science to develop.
Loved the connection between modern science and ancient stories. It really is something we've been fascinated by since forever.
I found the information theory of aging really intriguing - the idea that our cells don't lose the ability to be youthful, but rather the communication and "software" deteriorates over time. It's really interesting framework and not anything I’ve heard before.
I appreciate his emphasis on pursuing longevity not for vanity but human dignity. This is a part of getting older that people don't understand unless they've experienced it or cared for someone experiencing a loss of said dignity.
Yes, exactly this.
As someone who loves all things sci-fi, I couldn't help but think of all the films and books that have explored the concept of regenerative medicine and radical life extension. It's really cool to see some of that imaginative fiction starting to become reality. What an amazing time to be alive!
This is a really hopeful message for believing that we can age with vitality instead of being frail and needing help with everything.
Yesss this is what I'm taking away from it too. Ready for the middle aged mark to be moved to 50 thank you lolll
I appreciate how he emphasizes the importance of human dignity in the quest for longevity.
Yeah I think that's an important part of it
His passion for his work really shines through, makes it all the more enjoyable to watch
Yeah you can really tell how into it he is. Probably why he's so successful.
It's tragic that he lost his father to cancer. I can only imagine how painful that must have been, especially as someone so passionate about longevity research. I'm sure his father would be proud of the important work he's doing
These innovative methods are truly next level!
It’s one thing to talk about extending life, but focusing on healthspan instead is what really matters. This is a great approach to take with all these new developments and I hope it stays on this track instead of being turned into something just for the sake of beauty
I think it's kind of beautiful, the way his work has tied in to his fathers life and legacy. You don't see much stuff like that anymore, where it's almost like a family legacy thing.
The story about son and dad is heartwarming.
The bit about his father's influence on his career was really touching. Shows how personal this quest is for him.
yeah super cute!
The optimism about exponential progress in medicine is giving me hope for the future. Imagine a world where regenerative treatments are accessible to everyone!
It's amazing when personal and professional paths intertwine.
Absolutely fascinated how this combines ancient myths with modern science to tackle aging.
I would have preferred a bit more of the myths tbh
Mind-blown ! Never knew our bodies held such secrets to longevity. Tunc Tiryaki is on another level!
Really sad to hear about his father. I admire his commitment to this research despite that loss.
The concept of using exosomes as "fighter jets" for stem cells was a standout for me. It takes a complex topic and makes it understandable. I appreciate that.
Theis is a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge.
Love how TEDx gives a platform to such groundbreaking ideas. This is why I keep coming back!
Dam girlie you look fit af 😍 what kinda fountain of youth have you discovered lmao
Making these therapies accessible to a wider audience could change the game.
I had never considered the difference between lifespan and healthspan before this talk! His point about living healthily is just as important as living longer really made me think.
life is passing so quickly, that I wish I was born now to take take advantage of whats happening. I am too old now for it.
The idea that aging is more about communication breakdown than genetic decay is intriguing! Definitely not what I thought it was.
Can we talk about how this is not just about the science but also about human dignity? Respect
Yes I think that's an important part of it as well
Seems like the potential for new innovations is immense! I also appreciated how he broke down complicated scientific stuff for the general audience that might not know so much about it. (I'm referring to myself here).
Adding an additional level of credibility to their speech, the speaker's genuine attachment to the subject matter is evident. It’s unmistakable that they possess a deep enthusiasm for their work.
wow, fascinating!!
Wow thoughts on the topic aside he's really great at communicating some of the more difficult to understand science stuff. Especially the analogy about exosomes being fighter jets. Super easy to follow and I appreciate that a lot.
His insights on exosomes as the key to unlocking biological immortality are kind of mind-blowing. Like the potential uses for them seem pretty endless...
This talk is crazy. So many thing I just would never have known about, definitely need to rewatch a couple times
I think it's easy for the science heavy stuff to go over our heads lol
Practical applications like the exosome cream for burn healing are mind-blowing. Science isn't just in labs; it's changing lives and the possibilities for what we can do with it are amazing!
lol science has never been "just in labs"
@@gianisherenow I know, that's what I said?
Man the picture of that persons shoulder is pretty crazy. Some incredible healing there for sure
Yes!!! And the finger! Amazing
Age beyond the vision and memories of youth, in hope that wisdom no longer looks for mirrors to define presence. Laugh out loud and recognize the bazaar beliefs around the thought of youth. Relish in the joy of "science meets longevity" because you know now, what you didn't know when you were young. The mind is far more beautiful when the ego learns acceptance and the rigidness becomes more flexible. Appreciate what science provides to enhance aging and well being and always consult with the mind in the process; it tend to run old aged patterns.
Well I can see why you're called the philosopher!
The notion of utilizing exosomes in topical skincare is fascinating. I am eager to witness further exploration regarding its efficacy.
It was enlightening to be reminded by the speaker that aging is not an inevitable occurrence, rather it requires a shift in mindset which we all must adopt.
Uuum I'm not sure that's what the reminder is here, because aging is inevitable. I think the message was more so that we have a lot more control over what that looks and feels like
@@SnapTalkerIsHere Yeah I would agree with your summary here more so than ^^^
Honestly, thought it was gonna be another vague talk on anti-aging, but this was packed with solid science. Kudos to Tunc Tiryaki!
Yeah there's a fair bit to wrap your head around!
Pretty cool stuff though
Lots of good subject matter in this one
I think a lot of the more technical parts went over my head a little bit but I still enjoyed listening to it
Makes me hopeful for what's to come in anti-aging research.
Okay think what you want about anti-aging and cosmetics etc but the results he showed for burns and amputations is incredible. That is legit going to be life-changing for so many people.
Fully. I hate that when people think "cosmetic" they go straight to make-up etc, but really it can be for anything aesthetic
The software analogy hit home. Hardware maintenance is crucial, but we need the right software for optimal function. Nicely put!
A very good analogy for this age lol
The capacity of stem cells to act as the body's inherent mending tool is awe-inspiring, given their potential in the realm of regenerative medicine.
The before and after must be astonishing.
the opening question about life expectancy really grabbed my attention. I've never thought about the quality of those last years
Same, I've never thought there are so many practical things we can do to improve them
You must be young then!! 🤣🤣
Amazed at how exosomes can be used for wound healing and tissue repair.
The comparison of exosomes to fighter jets and messengers is genius! Really helps visualize/understand their role in tissue repair.
Seeing real-life transformations from stem cells and exosomes is super impressive! Kinda awesome to see how it's actually changing lives and not just theories.
Totally blown away by what stem cells are able to do in the hands of someone so skilled.
It's so whimsical to think ancient quests for immortality are being echoed in science today
Holy shhh the picture at the 5:20 mark is insane to me. Like that's such an incredible improvement.
Right??? Lol I barely listened to what he said after that point I was googling exosome based creams 😅😅
@@evielangtree8743 🤣🤣🤣
@@evielangtree8743 lol same girl same
Hats off to the speaker's inspirational father still playing basketball at 76.
Yeah he sounds like he was practicing what he preached for sure
very cool
As someone whose looking down the barrel of a half century this talk made me weirdly emotional. I think hoping for a longer and healthier life is something that comes naturally to those with less years ahead than they have behind them
I know what you mean but when you're in that mindset (more years behind than in front) all your doing is stopping yourself from enjoying the time you do have left
I think it's something that everyone wants, regardless of age
I'm sure there'll be many rich and aging women very happy to hear about some of this stuff
amazing
The tale of the young and old mice [8:12 minute mark] was kinda unsettling. Would like more information about this.
the part about exosomes is just...wow. science fiction turning into reality right before our eyes.
I'm just excited to think that I can have a whole third act in my later years post-retirement and actually feel good while I'm doing it
Nice one
very very nice
combining surgical techniques with stem cell therapy for facial rejuvenation is ingenious.
Deploying aircraft carriers and exosomes as fighter jets is a great way to explain
The secrets of aging could potentially be uncovered through stem cells and exosomes, leading to a promising future. How exciting!
Gotta admit, I was skeptical at first, but Tiryaki makes a compelling case for the future of regenerative medicine.
Love the historical touch, connecting Cleopatra and vampires to the pursuit of immortality. Love a journey that's threaded through time!
Yeah very cool to hear about some of the stuff she did for her beauty!
Just goes to show humans have been obsessed with this stuff since the beginning!
@@evielangtree8743 lol makes sense honestly
the way he connected ancient myths to modern science is just chef's kiss
I think the hardware/software analogy just proves the need for a holistic approach to aging
It was a very interesting point, not sure what you mean about holistic approach though?
Science is really out here taking some bold steps. This was interesting to listen to and just a small reminder, magic is the name we use for things that science hasn't figured out yet.
Nice
Exosomes from cancer research to cellular treatments - the potential applications are vast! I just hope there is some sort of priority to the reasons these things are being developed.
I get what you're saying but I'm not sure how easily that can be regulated. Different people are going to prioritize things differently and that's just how it goes
the potential for exosomes to democratize regenerative treatments is exciting.
While his enthusiasm is infectious, I would have liked to hear more about the current challenges and limitations of exosome therapies. Glossing over potential risks and focusing mainly on the upsides doesn't provide the full picture.
What he says about years lived without disease is pretty interesting, I can't help but feel that number is actually lowering if anything. I'm in my mid 30's and have had friends my age already pass away from cancer
wow that's really sad and yes also concerning if true...
Am I the only one whose feeling kind of excited about getting older now? Like I normally think of it with a bit of dread and apprehension but this has me feeling pretty positive about it now!
Lol yes.
You know I always felt like I didn't want to live past a certain age because we just assume you can't really do much but yeah if my quality of life was still good and I didn't have to rely on other people to get around I'd probably want to live to 100 as well
Yes, If we could live to the same ability that we have in our 40's and 50's it would be a great time
@@Enzo-Sardi I mean if we get to choose surely it's going to be the 20's - 30's right??
I don't know I feel like after a certain age what's the point? Even if you're still self-reliant what do you really need to be alive for
@@lucasdanster geez dude are you okay?
Even if you had to rely on people to get around you could still be doing awesome things, enjoying life in a different way
Belief, differentiation, and importing information - sounds good, but is it that simple? Skeptical about how these three pillars will truly revolutionize our fight against aging.
This could really spark a shift in terms of viewing aging as a treatable condition rather than an inevitability
Definitely, also good advice on managing the "symptoms" of aging
if Exosomes are the new frontier in anti-aging? Sign me up!
The mice experiment he described is both creepy and scientifically very cool.
Wow. Just... wow. We really will go to such lengths to improve things for the rich (because let's face it they're the ones who will be benefitting from these advancements) instead of just investing in ways to make life enjoyable for the masses.
This really speaks volumes about the future of cosmetic surgery doesn't it?
Yeah I've often thought about how much our life expectancy has grown over the past couple hundred years and that in itself seems so wild to me let alone all the stuff nowadays about how to stay looking young etc
Very true, we seem to keep pushing back the boundaries of what our bodies are capable of
The picture of that hand burn is insane for only a week!! I spilt boiling waster on my arm once and it took freakin WEEKS to heal like why didn't anyone tell me about this back then??
Ouch that would have sucked
Wow, yes we've come so far in our quest and research for all of these things but will it be worth it?
Reading about epi-genetic aging hit close to home. Makes me think about my own cells and their 'unreadable photocopies.' Pretty interesting stuff
Definitely an interesting reaction
I think it's kind of trippy to reflect on that... don't really like the thought of my DNA being blurred photocopies!
@@callmedennisreallyIamdennis Well unless you plan on not aging past a certain point not much to be done about it...
I think the desire to live longer definitely goes up the more the guarantee of quality of life goes up too.
Yes and the steps towards guaranteeing it can also start with ourselves. We can make those choices for ourselves that add up to something better.
Dude, the link between Cleopatra's donkey milk baths and stem cells from phat blew my mind! Who knew history could connect to modern science like that?
Yeah it is pretty cool to hear that some practices throughout history actually have scientific backing
Connecting vampire stories to real-life experiments is wild!
Yes lol but he's done it in a very clever way
Gosh all this research and science is great and all but there is so much to be gained with a balanced, anti-inflammatory focused diet.
Well this is incredible but I'd like to see it combined with diet related research. There are so many foods that go so far towards preventing the decay of our bodies!
Lol that kind of stuff can't just be applied everywhere though
Imagine if we spent as much time on laughter and joy as we do on anti-aging. Maybe that's the real secret to staying young!
Lol young at heart, sure
one equals the other.
I think it's a pretty interesting reflection of our society that this "fountain of youth" quest has now taken on a very real and scientific approach. It used to be something mystical right? Like akin to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and now it seems like something that we'll actually be able to manufacture and sell.
We're already doing it
Plastic surgery meets stem cells - such a modern approach to the fountain of youth. I suppose it's getting results though, those hand and face transformations are truly impressive!
They're incredible!!
We humans have been searching for the Fountain of Youth for as long as we've breathed and will continue to do so.
