Due to the increasing number of fat grafting procedures, several laboratories have developed their own fat processing system (Puregraft(®), LipiVage(®), Viafill(®), etc.), such as closed harvesting systems, centrifugation or washing and filtration devices, or even simple decantation techniques. However, all these tissue-engineering systems are expensive. Our team has developed a simple and fast...

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical processing of lipoaspirate (LA) is a commonly employed technique prior to reinjection for the purposes of lipofilling and skin rejuvenation. Our group has previously demonstrated that one form of mechanical processing, ‘nanofat grafting,’ results in a significant upregulation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers, adipose-derived stem (ADSCs) and endothelia...
