Why Is Fat Tissue Used for Stem Cells?
While stem cells can be found in various parts of the body, fat—especially from the abdominal area—contains a particularly high concentration of mesenchymal stem cells. These cells are:
-
Easily accessible
-
Rich in regenerative potential
-
Capable of tissue repair and rejuvenation
-
Autologous, meaning they are from the patient, so the risk of rejection or allergy is minimal
