SVF fat grafting (cell-assisted lipotransfer) first isolates stromal vascular fraction from part of the harvested fat and mixes it into the graft. The goal is higher graft survival; systematic reviews report generally higher retention with cell assistance, but study quality and cell doses vary, and the SVF step adds processing, cost and regulatory considerations.","detailed_answer":null,"format":"paragraph","confidence":85,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","updated_at":"2026-09-14 22:42:08"},"sources":[{"id":23,"title":"Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer: A Systematic Review of its Efficacy","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37608190/","publisher":"Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (2024)","type":"academic","accessed_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"},{"id":16,"title":"Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation","url":"https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/fat-transfer-breast-augmentation","publisher":"American Society of Plastic Surgeons","type":"organization","accessed_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"}],"published_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"}
