Quick answer
Graft survival depends on harvesting and processing technique, injection in small aliquots, total volume per session, blood supply and softness of the recipient tissue, donor site, the patient's health and weight stability, and postoperative pressure or movement. Cell enrichment with SVF is studied as a way to support survival. Measurement method and time point also change the reported number.
