Prediction of internal arterial diameter from measurement of external diameter.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:With the continued application of fat grafting in plastic surgery, many studies have focused on various factors to improve maintenance of the fat graft volume, such as platelet-rich plasma, adipose-derived stromal/stem cells, and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). In addition, many review ar...
