Regenerative medicine: research and clinical experience
Explore questions arising from fat-grafting experience while distinguishing research possibilities from established clinical use.
From clinical observation to research questions
Clinical questions about graft retention and skin recovery arose from fat grafting experience.
1. Fat grafting experience
Clinical work with autologous fat involved observations of graft survival and surrounding tissue changes.
2. Fat tissue biology
Interest extended beyond volume restoration to the properties of fat tissue and its cell populations.
3. Examining potential and limitations
The approach continues to prioritise whether a treatment is appropriate for the patient.
Purpose and suitability come before a name
Drawing on clinical experience in fat grafting and pain medicine, Dr Ahn considers tissue characteristics and patient condition, discussing potential and limitations before determining suitability.

Understand the limitations too
Research interests and treatment suitability are considered separately, with limits explained.
Assess suitability first
These approaches are not suitable for every condition. Diagnosis, health and indications must be assessed.
Discuss potential and limitations
Response can vary with age, disease severity, tissue condition and the approach used.
Consider established care
Established treatment may take priority or be combined with other approaches, depending on the condition.
FAQ
What approach is used for facial fat grafting?
The clinic uses an approach combining microfat and SVF. The actual method and scope are decided after assessing facial structure and condition.
Are fat grafting and regenerative medicine the same?
Fat grafting transfers autologous fat tissue to support volume and contour. It is described separately from regenerative approaches using fat-derived cells.
Can anyone receive Regenerative treatment?
Suitability depends on the condition, health, indications and applicable requirements.

Stem cell treatment overview
This page distinguishes adipose-derived approaches, microfat or SVF, and bone-marrow concentrate. Current clinical availability must be confirmed in consultation.
Meet the doctor
Medical Director and anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist. His approach begins with assessment across pain, posture, skin, and facial change.
Microfat and SVF
Microfat is adipose tissue processed into smaller particles, while SVF is a mixed fraction of cellular components separated from adipose tissue
