The Chain and the Fat Killers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Outpatient Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

The microfat procedure consists in a number of different steps. For example, we have to harvest the fat, process it, mix it with prp, and, finally, inject it into recipient sites. These four steps may be considered the four different links of a chain, as it were.
