Quick answer

Not exactly. Cell-assisted lipotransfer names a specific protocol — stromal vascular fraction isolated from part of the harvested fat and added to the rest. SVF-assisted fat grafting is the broader category of any graft enriched with the stromal vascular fraction, covering protocols that differ in isolation method and cell dose. The terms are used loosely in the literature, so the protocol matters more than the label.

Answer

Cell-assisted lipotransfer carries its procedure in its name: the fraction isolated from one part of the aspirate is added to the remainder[1]. "SVF-assisted fat grafting" states only that the graft was enriched, without fixing how the cells were isolated or how many were added[1][2].

The relationship is closer to containment than equivalence: CAL is one protocol within SVF-assisted grafting. Because definitions vary between studies, reading a paper or a consultation document is more productive when it focuses on how the cells were isolated and how many were added than on which of the two names is used[1].
