Refined AFT techniques have reduced morbidity, though standardization remains elusive.

Research is advancing graft survival through enhanced cell differentiation and angiogenesis.

Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) transfer shows promise, but requires further human research.

Conclusions:

Stem cell harvesting methods are beneficial for graft survival.
Future fat grafting innovations involve additive agents, enhancers, and scaffolds to improve graft longevity.
