Cell-assisted lipotransfer is a process in which fat grafting is supplemented with autologous adipose-derived stromal cells. Since the efficacy of the technique was demonstrated, studies have focused on the mechanism by which cell-assisted lipotransfer enhances the rate of graft survival. However, the microenvironmental changes in donor and recipient tissue associated with cell-assisted lipotransfer remain unclear.
