Abstract (original English)
Autologous fat grafting (AFG or lipofilling) is a common technique used in plastic and reconstructive surgery that involves the transfer of autologous fat tissue from one region of the body to another. The indications and techniques of AFG have changed dramatically over the years. We recount the historic milestones to the current state.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
