• FAT (adipose) tissue is considered minimally invasive to harvest, as it can be obtained through a procedure called liposuction, which involves making small incisions in the skin and using a cannula to suction out the fat.^{[1, 2, 3]}

• FAT has 100-500 times more reparative cells than other similar tissue. ^[4] Adipose tissue contains a type of stem cell called adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), which have shown to have regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. ^[5] ASCs have been used in various medical applications, such as wound healing, tissue repair, and in some cases, even to treat certain diseases. ^[6,7]

• FAT maintains its reparative properties as a person ages, while other similar tissue may lose healing capacity. ^[8] Research has indeed shown that ASCs from older individuals still retain some regenerative properties, but they may not be as effective as those from younger individuals. ^[6,9]

• Nanofat is a type of FAT grafting procedure that involves using a small amount of fat harvested from the patient’s body and then processing it into smaller particles. ^{[10, 11, 12]} Nanofat has been used in a variety of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, including facial rejuvenation, scar revision, and breast reconstruction. The uniformed small size fat tissue allows more natural-looking results. ^{[6,13, 14, 15, 16]}
