DESCRIPTION

Fat tissue, often called the “anatomist’s Cinderella,” is a great source of multifunctional cells with regenerative and anti-inflammatory potential. The focus on fat tissue started from regenerative medicine. Fat-tissue-derived products have been used successfully in orthopedics, and thus most of the evidence in the literature of the in vivo activity originates there. For reconstructive and aesthetic purposes, transferring fat tissue from a donor site not only restores the volume of the recipient site, but also replenishes the skin quality and initiates skin remodeling.
In this book, the authors highlight the history of fat grafting, including the currently used techniques. Lipofilling has an enormous advantage over synthetic soft tissue fillers because of the regenerative potential. When transferring fat, not only adipocytes are harvested. They describe the characteristics of all active cells that are part of a lipotransfer. Surgery is a matter of small details. The proper technique of fat harvesting and tissue preparation has a great impact on the final, long-term results. Knowledge of the technical aspects of fat harvesting is crucial for a surgeon to produce the best outcome. This book includes a description of the development of the system for lipofilling and the most popular systems available on the market.
