Autologous Fat Grafting
Transferring a person's own fat to another body area, graft survival and enhancement techniques.
Entities
Fat Graft Survival
Fat graft survival (retention) is the share of transferred fat volume that remains after healing; part of every fat graft is resorbed, and reported retention varies widely by technique, site and how it is measured.
Autologous Fat Grafting
Autologous 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 Grafting
SVF-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.
Facial Fat Grafting
Facial 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.
SVF Facial Fat Grafting
SVF facial fat grafting is facial fat transfer with the graft enriched by stromal vascular fraction.
Autologous Fat
Autologous fat is a person's own fat tissue, harvested by liposuction and used as a natural filler or graft material in the same person.
Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly hyaluronic acid, used to add volume or smooth lines in the face; effects are temporary.
Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer
Cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) is a specific fat grafting protocol in which stromal vascular fraction isolated from one portion of the harvested fat is added to the remaining fat before injection.
Stem Cell Fat Grafting
A consumer and marketing term used for fat grafting that is enriched with cells isolated from adipose tissue. It is not a standardised academic term and does not denote culture-expanded stem cell therapy.
