Innovations in Fat Grafting, Lipofilling, and Body Contouring

This chapter explores the scientific basis and contemporary clinical applications of autologous fat transfer, reviewing advances in harvesting techniques, processing protocols, and cell-enriched grafting strategies that have significantly improved graft survival and predictability. The role of fat grafting in breast augmentation, facial rejuvenation, scar correction, and complex reconstructive scenarios is examined in detail, alongside a critical evaluation of safety considerations and the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding cell-assisted lipotransfer.
