Actually, there are 2 main methods to obtain stromal vascular fraction (SVF): enzymatic digestion and mechanical filtration; however, the available systems report heterogeneous and sometimes not univocal results. The aim of this study is to evaluate different procedures for SVF isolation and compare their clinical efficacy in the treatment of soft-tissue defects in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The authors evaluated Celution and Medikhan, enzymatic systems, and Fatstem and Mystem system, mechanical separation systems
