What is stem cell fat grafting?

Short answer
"Stem cell fat grafting" usually means cell-assisted lipotransfer: fat harvested by liposuction is enriched with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from part of the same fat before it is injected. The added cells are intended to support blood vessel growth and graft survival. Despite the name, the graft is enriched with a mixed cell fraction, not with a purified or cultured stem cell product.
