Reported rates vary widely because techniques, graft volumes, recipient sites and measurement methods differ. A retention figure is only meaningful together with the time point, the number of patients measured and the measurement method.","detailed_answer":null,"format":"paragraph","confidence":75,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","updated_at":"2026-09-14 22:42:08"},"sources":[{"id":21,"title":"Advancing fat graft survival: from adipose-derived stem cell mechanisms to next-generation regenerative strategies","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42388980/","publisher":"Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology (2026)","type":"academic","accessed_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"}],"published_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"}
