Stem Cell TherapyStem cell therapy is a medical treatment that uses stem cells or their derivatives to repair, replace or regenerate damaged tissue, cells or organs.

Stromal Vascular FractionThe 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.

Breast Fat GraftingBreast fat grafting (fat transfer breast augmentation) uses the patient's own liposuctioned fat to modestly enlarge or reshape the breast without an implant.

Autologous Fat GraftingAutologous fat grafting (fat transfer) is a procedure in which fat is removed from one area of the body by liposuction, processed, and injected into another area to add volume.

SVF-assisted Fat GraftingSVF-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.

SVF Breast AugmentationSVF breast augmentation is breast fat grafting in which the injected fat is enriched with the patient's own stromal vascular fraction.

Adipose-derived Stem CellAdipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are mesenchymal stem/stromal cells isolated from fat tissue and expanded in culture; they are studied for tissue repair and are a component of the stromal vascular fraction.

Breast AugmentationBreast augmentation is surgery to increase breast size or fullness, most commonly with silicone or saline implants and, for smaller changes, with fat grafting.

LiposuctionLiposuction is surgery that removes fat from under the skin with a suction cannula; it reshapes body areas and is also the harvesting step for fat grafting and SVF.

Stem CellStem cells are undifferentiated cells that can divide to produce more stem cells or develop into specialized cell types.

Adult Stem CellAdult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in developed tissues that can renew themselves and produce some of the specialized cell types of that tissue.

Facial Fat GraftingFacial fat grafting transfers the patient's own fat to the face to restore volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples and under-eye region.

Adipose TissueAdipose tissue is body fat: a connective tissue made mostly of fat cells (adipocytes) together with blood vessels, immune cells and stromal cells.

Breast Revision SurgeryBreast revision surgery corrects or changes the result of a previous breast augmentation, such as implant removal, replacement or fat grafting after implants.

SVF Facial Fat GraftingSVF facial fat grafting is facial fat transfer with the graft enriched by stromal vascular fraction.
