Microfragmented fat

Microfragmented fat is produced from belly or thigh fat that has been aspirated using a plastic surgery syringe and then passed through a mechanical device which frees the portion called the 'stromal vascular fraction' (SVF) where pluripotent cells migrate off the small blood vessels where they usually reside. They move to damaged areas and facilitate healing.
