Advanced technologies in plastic surgery: how new innovations can improve our training and practice.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Lipoaspirate centrifugation creates graded density of adipose tissue. High-density fat contains more vasculogenic cytokines and progenitor cells and has greater graft survival than low-density fat. The authors hypothesize that accelerating the bone marrow-derived progenitor cell response to injected low-dens...
