Background: Lipofilling is one of the most often performed surgical procedures in plastic and
reconstructive surgery. Lipoaspirates provide a ready source of stem cells and secreted …

Background Liposuction and subsequent autologous fat grafting have become essential
techniques for fat augmentation in plastic surgery. However, standard harvesting techniques …

Background: Recently, adipose tissue harvested by liposuction has been identified as a
source of processed lipoaspirate cells. The aim of this study was to determine the …

Background Autologous fat grafting is a highly used technique in plastic and reconstructive
surgery. Several fat-processing techniques have been described, with centrifugation …

Background: Adipose tissue harvested through lipoaspiration is widely exploited in plastic
and cosmetic surgery, because of its remarkable trophic properties, especially relying on the …

In plastic surgery, lipofilling is a frequent procedure. Unsatisfactory vascularization and
impaired cell vitality can lead to unpredictable take rates in the fat graft. The proliferation and …

Background Although water-jet force–assisted liposuction technique (WAL) was
demonstrated to have favorable effects on fat grafting, controversy continues concerning the …

Background: Aspirated fat is not only a filler material but also an abundant source of adipose-
derived stem cells. The aim of this study was to assess degeneration of aspirated fat during …

Background: Fat grafting is a growing field within plastic surgery. Adipose-derived stem cells
(ASCs) and stromal vascular fracture (SVF) may have a role in fat graft survival. Our group …

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and soluble factors
jointly contribute to the regenerative effect of fat grafts. Nanofat grafting emulsifies the …
