Constructing the Well Regenerated Decellularized Adipose Tissue Using External Volume Expansion Device.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

January 2025

Department of Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.

Background: External volume expansion (EVE) devices has been demonstrated to enhance the survival of fat grafts. Decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) serves as a promising scaffold for adipose regeneration; however, the effectiveness of adipose regeneration in DAT remains limited, and the underlying mechanisms of its regeneration require further investigation.

Objective: This study explores the potential of EVE technology to enhance DAT-mediated adipogenesis by facilitating cellular recruitment and establishing a microenvironment conducive to adipose tissue regeneration.
