Comparison of the Viability and Yield of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASCs) from Different Donor Areas

Abstract

Tissue-harvesting area is a strong determinant of the quality of the fat grafts. Compared to abdomen, waist and inner knee, thighs seem favorable in terms of viability profile and yield of SVF cells and ASCs. Further randomized controlled trials incorporating a larger cohort of patients are warranted in order to verify our results.
