Abstract

Studies have shown that adipose-derived stem cells may improve neovascularization, graft take, and much more. Many strategies have been developed in the last years to isolate and take advantage of these cells for different applications in many specialties. Immediate cell-supplemented lipotransfer (iCSL) is a reproducible and immediate approach that consists in isolating a great number of stem cells from the harvested fat and injecting the suspension with processed adipose tissue as a scaffold in the same procedure, in a short time and cost-effective manner. In this article, the authors present iCSL throughout its processing method, its advantages and current applications in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and its potential applications in all fields of regenerative medicine
