Essentials of Fat Grafting: A Step-by-Step Guide (EPUB)

By Lukas Prantl
Fat grafting has emerged as one of the most versatile and promising tools in modern Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery. Despite its widespread use, techniques and outcomes still vary significantly. Essentials of Fat Grafting bridges this gap with a unique, four-level structure that guides the reader from foundational techniques to advanced clinical applications—all grounded in evidence-based practice.
This comprehensive volume features contributions from over 60 internationally recognized experts, including Eckhard Alt, Geoffrey Gurtner, Amin Kalaaji, Roger Khouri, Lauren Kokai, Kotaro Yoshimura, Tsai-Ming Lin, Norbert Pallua, Rod Rohrich, Aris Sterodimas, Joris van Dongen and Alexis Verpaele. Their collective knowledge is distilled into practical checklists, decision-making algorithms, and step-by-step video tutorials.
The book provides detailed guidance on optimizing every stage of the fat grafting process—harvesting, processing, and reinjection—enabling clinicians to achieve superior and reproducible results. Professor Prantl presents his own innovations, while expert insights from a diverse range of specialists offer real-world solutions and recommendations for clinical implementation, particularly in the integration of fat and stem cell therapies.
Clear flowcharts and structured protocols ensure that even complex procedures become accessible, combining hands-on practicality with a solid scientific foundation.
This book is an essential resource for practitioners in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Regenerative Medicine, Dermatology, Gynaecology, ENT, Urology, and Orthopaedics. It is designed to be both thought-provoking and practical—a trusted companion for daily clinical work.
