Abstract.

It has been possible to determine the number of live fat cells available in samples of aspirated fat which are going to be used in lipoinjection procedures. It has been possible to develop a technical procedure that quantifies the number of live fat cells in 1 mm of injection. Without taking into account different methods for fat injection, there is a 95% correct conclusion that it is immaterial whether the syringe or a cannula with a pump is used. However, the higher the amount of blood found in the samples being used for injection, the less amount of live fat cells found.
