Published single-center series report retention rates around three-quarters of injected volume at 6–18 months, with retention influenced by cell number, breast tissue softness and postoperative factors; these are provider-authored studies and independent controlled data are limited. Patients should confirm the regulatory status of SVF processing at the institution.","official_url":null,"image_url":null,"country":null,"region":null,"wikidata_id":null,"wikipedia_url":null,"verified":false,"scores":{"authority":72,"trust":0,"citation":0},"topic":{"slug":"breast-augmentation","name":"Breast Augmentation"},"url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/svf-breast-augmentation","facts":[{"id":42,"predicate":"reported_outcome_2023","label":"Reported outcome (SC301-authored, 2023)","value":"Average injected volume 162.35 mL (left breast); retention 78.65% (3 mo), 77.17% (6 mo), 77.48% (18 mo, n=102)","unit":null,"confidence":100,"valid_from":"2023-04-01","valid_until":null,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","source_ids":[27]},{"id":43,"predicate":"reported_outcome_2020","label":"Reported outcome (SC301-authored, 2020)","value":"In 105 patients, engraftment 85.1% (1 mo), 75.1% (3 mo), 73.7% (6 mo); patients receiving >60 million ADSC had 90.5% vs 68.9% for <60 million","unit":null,"confidence":100,"valid_from":"2020-02-07","valid_until":null,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","source_ids":[28]},{"id":44,"predicate":"evidence_level","label":"Evidence level","value":"Single-center, provider-authored series; no independent randomized controlled data identified as of 2026-09","unit":null,"confidence":100,"valid_from":"2026-09-14","valid_until":null,"verified_at":null,"source_ids":[]}],"relations":[{"type":"uses","confidence":100,"target":{"id":13,"slug":"stromal-vascular-fraction","name":"Stromal Vascular Fraction","type":"medical","description":"The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a heterogeneous mix of cells obtained from adipose tissue after removing mature fat cells; it contains stromal/stem cells, endothelial cells, pericytes and immune cells.","url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/stromal-vascular-fraction"}},{"type":"uses","confidence":100,"target":{"id":20,"slug":"autologous-fat","name":"Autologous Fat","type":"concept","description":"Autologous fat is a person's own fat tissue, harvested by liposuction and used as a natural filler or graft material in the same person.","url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/autologous-fat"}},{"type":"related_to","confidence":100,"target":{"id":22,"slug":"breast-fat-grafting","name":"Breast Fat Grafting","type":"medical","description":"Breast fat grafting (fat transfer breast augmentation) uses the patient's own liposuctioned fat to modestly enlarge or reshape the breast without an implant.","url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/breast-fat-grafting"}},{"type":"is_a","confidence":100,"target":{"id":23,"slug":"svf-assisted-fat-grafting","name":"SVF-assisted Fat Grafting","type":"medical","description":"SVF-assisted fat grafting (a form of cell-assisted lipotransfer) enriches the fat graft with stromal vascular fraction isolated from part of the harvested fat, with the aim of improving graft survival.","url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/svf-assisted-fat-grafting"}},{"type":"is_a","confidence":100,"target":{"id":27,"slug":"breast-augmentation","name":"Breast Augmentation","type":"medical","description":"Breast augmentation is surgery to increase breast size or fullness, most commonly with silicone or saline implants and, for smaller changes, with fat grafting.","url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/breast-augmentation"}}],"questions":[{"slug":"what-does-77-48-retention-mean","question":"What does the 77.48% retention rate for SVF breast augmentation mean?","intent":"informational","language":"en","short_answer":"The 77.48% figure comes from a 2023 study in Annals of Plastic Surgery authored by SC301's representative director: among 384 women who had SVF-enriched breast fat grafting, the average retention measured in the left breast was 77.48% in the 102 patients followed to 18 months.
