Background: There is currently no standardization in the field of research on fat grafts in rats, which is one of the most popular topics in plastic surgery. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the effects of selecting paraepididymal fat grafts as the donor area on enhancing the reliability of fat graft studies.
Methods: In this study, 12 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to obtain adipose grafts from both inguinal and paraepididymal regions.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oleuropein oral intake on infected fat grafts and fat graft survival.
Materials And Methods: 32 Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: 0. none treated, 1.
Background: Although studies aiming to increase fat graft survival continue, in this study, the authors aimed to investigate the effects of different antioxidants on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and their effect on graft survival.
Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four equally sized groups, including a control group and three antioxidant groups receiving either melatonin (10 mg/kg), zinc (2 mg/kg), or vitamins E and C (100 mg/kg). Autologous fat grafts (1.
