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: 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' …

Current practice of autologous fat transfer for soft tissue augmentation is limited by poor long-
term graft retention. Adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) contain several types of …

Autologous fat grafting has remained part of the plastic surgeon's armamentarium. Although
there have been numerous articles written on this topic, its scientific basis has recently come …

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 …

Background The survival rate of grafted fat is difficult to predict, and repeated procedures are
frequently required. In this study, the effects of the freezing period of harvested adipose …

Background: Autologous fat transfer is a common procedure; however, results are variable
and unpredictable. Objectives: Stem cell responses to hypoxic environments need to be …

Background: Cell-assisted lipotransfer has shown much promise as a technique for
improving fat graft take. However, the concentration of stromal vascular fraction cells …

The authors provide a thorough investigation into the variables affecting adipocyte viability
ahead of graft transplantation. 1 While several reports have examined individual …

BACKGROUND: Even though fat grafting has become widely used by plastic surgeons, most
surgeons choose their method of fat grafting based almost entirely on anecdotal evidence …
