Does a stem cell-enriched fat transfer increase survival rate of the fat?

Hello @Beautiful814474, thank you for your question. It is important to note that while there is promising research on the use of stem cell-enriched fat transfer, it is not a proven fact. More studies are needed to determine the efficacy of this procedure in cosmetic surgery. The success of a fat transfer procedure ultimately depends on the surgical technique and experience of the specialist performing the procedure. Even with stem cell-enriched fat transfer, a skilled plastic surgeon can maximize transferred fat survival and achieve the desired results. It is essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience and expertise in fat transfer procedures for the best possible outcome. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Nobody can say with certainity how much addition of fat cell derived stem call would enchance survival of fat grafts. Although there are multiple studies in the past and present dealing with this issue we are still not competely aware what is exactly going on. Take of fat grafts is still fairly unpredictable and may depend of many factors, including presence of fat sterm cells. Hope this may help.

Dear Beautiful814474,
fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area
