Background: Free fat grafting is popular, but it is still unclear how it works. Although focusing
on graft survival seems an obvious direction for improving clinical results, the authors' …

Background: Fat grafting is a promising technique for soft-tissue augmentation, although
graft retention is highly unpredictable and factors that affect graft survival have not been well …

The 1study by Zhu et al1 was designed to test an important hypothesis about whether the
use of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) could improve long-term graft retention …

Background: Fat graft volume retention remains highly unpredictable, but addition of
adipose-derived stromal cells to fat grafts has been shown to improve retention. The present …

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells are used to enhance fat graft survival. However,
their mechanism of action when grafted is controversial. The grafted cells can be replaced …

Background: Cell-enrichment of fat grafts has produced encouraging results, but the optimal
concentrations and types of added cells are unknown. The authors investigated the effects of …

Background: Clinical outcomes following fat grafting are variable and technique dependent,
and it is unknown how the graft is revascularized. The authors recently observed that living …

Background: Recent research indicates that the adipose tissue of nonvascularized grafts is
completely remodeled within 3 months, although origins of next-generation cells are …

Adipose tissue and adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ASCs) obtained from liposuction
were shown to have potential for regenerative therapeutic use. However, clinical outcomes …

Background: Lipomodeling is a technique that uses the patient's own fat for tissue
regeneration and augmentation. The extent of regenerative effect is reported to be …
