Background The success of an autologous fat graft depends in part on its total stromal
vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). However, variations in the …

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 …
