SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) is a type of adipose tissue procedure. In this procedure, a rich mixture of cells obtained from the body's adipose tissue is used to regenerate or treat tissues. SVF contains stem cells, connective tissue cells, lymphocytes, and other cellular components. These cells potentially have regenerative properties.
The SVF procedure is commonly used in fields such as cosmetic surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, and wound healing. It can be applied to individuals who want to reduce signs of aging, treat joint disorders, or accelerate wound healing.
The SVF procedure can involve the following steps:
Collection of Adipose Tissue: Adipose tissue is usually collected from areas such as the abdomen or hips using a non-surgical method.
Processing of Adipose Tissue: The collected adipose tissue is cleaned and processed using a specialized technique. During this process, fat cells are separated from other cell types.
SVF Injection: The obtained rich cell mixture is injected into the targeted area. This step is typically performed under local anesthesia.
The SVF procedure carries certain risks. Reactions like infection, bleeding, swelling can occur at the injection site. Additionally, there's a risk of unwanted growth or altered behavior of the injected cells.
The recovery time after the SVF procedure varies from person to person. Generally, a mild recovery period is expected. Factors such as the individual's health condition, the treated area, and overall lifestyle influence the recovery time. The recovery period can range from a few days to several weeks.
After the SVF procedure, it's important to follow the recommendations of your doctor. Proper hygiene should be maintained to prevent infection at the injection sites. Swelling or discomfort might be experienced in the first few days. Any potential side effects or complications should be promptly reported to the doctor.
