Quick answer

Stem cell cosmetic surgery (줄기세포 성형) is a marketing term, usually for procedures that use cells taken from the patient's own fat, often alongside fat grafting. A 2024 systematic review found that stem-cell-based products for aesthetic medicine had not received FDA approval. It also found that most studies were small and had short follow-up. The FDA lists fat-derived stromal vascular fraction as unapproved when offered outside clinical trials.

Answer

The review found that study protocols and cell sources differed from study to study, which makes results hard to compare [11]. The FDA lists SVF among the unapproved regenerative products [7].
