Over the last few years, autologous fat grafting has been at the forefront of aesthetic plastic surgery clinical practice, since it provides exceptional results for the treatment of soft-tissue contour deformities (1, 2). Similar to bone marrow, the adipose tissue is derived from the embryonic mesenchyme and contains a supportive stromal vascular fraction (SVF) that can be easily isolated (3). Typically, SVF from adipose tissue contains different types of cells, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, pericytes, leukocytes and pre-adipocytes, otherwise named as adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) (4).The potential of ASCs to differentiate into diverse cell types both in vitro and in vivo, offers outstanding opportunities for their clinical application as therapeutic agents (5). In particular, preclinical studies have revealed their capacity to differentiate toward the osteogenic, adipogenic, myogenic, and chondrogenic lineages (6, 7). Nevertheless, adipose tissue displays a significant heterogeneity in terms of stem cell yield, proliferation, and differentiation capacity not only among individuals, but even when comparing different fat depots within one individual (8). 1229This article is freely accessible online.Correspondence to: Diamantis I.

“…10 On the other hand, tumescent liposuction showed less anemia but more seroma in comparison with dry liposuction. 12 Further instrumental improvement was made by Toledo in 1988 by presenting disposable syringes with different sizes for harvesting adipose tissue. 13 A great advantage of disposable syringes for aspiration of adipose tissue is the reduced risk of contamination or biofilms to grow.…”

Lipofilling, the transplantation of adipose tissue, has already been used since the end of the 19th century. For decades, lipofilling was used to restore loss of volume due to aging, trauma, or congenital defects. Later on, the indications for the use of lipofilling expanded by treating aged skin, scars, and improving wound healing. The expansion was caused by the discovery of adipose derived stromal cells (ASCs) in adipose tissue and the development of very fine harvesting and injection cannulas which made it possible to inject small adipose tissue particles in small volume areas, such as the face. ASCs are multipotent stromal cells which reside in the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue and are able to differentiate in multiple cell lineages and secrete a plurality of growth factors with regenerative potentials. The discovery of ASCs led toward more experimental cell-based therapies, that is, ASCs or SVF isolated by means of enzymatic isolation procedures. Later on, enzymatic isolation procedures were forbidden in many countries by legislation and were replaced by mechanical isolation procedures, such as the Nanofat and Fractionation of Adipose Tissue (FAT) procedures. The Nanofat procedure has been extensively investigated, especially as treatment for skin rejuvenation in the face. Though, substantial evidence is lacking for using facial lipofilling or any therapeutic component, that is, ASCs or SVF for skin rejuvenation to date. In contrast, facial lipofilling to restore loss of volume seems to be promising.

“…Lysis of the adipocyte membrane by laser‐assisted energy delivered to the subcutaneous adipose tissue reduces traumatic fat removal , increases coagulation of blood vessels leading to less bruising with more rapid recovery , and collagen coagulation stimulates reorganization of the reticular dermis leading to skin tightening and increased skin elasticity . Moreover, a reduced rate of touch ups has also been reported with LAL, as well as the need for touchups .…”
