Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of centrifugation fraction on survival rate of lipoaspirate. Methods The inguinal fat tissue of New Zealand rabbits was harvested and centrifuged by Coleman procedure. Centrifuged lipoaspirate was divided into upper, middle and lower layers which were transplanted into the back of rabbits. Three months later, the fat grafts were assessed by survival volume, histological characteristics and immunohistochemical staining for CD31. Results The volume retention, density of vessel and survival quality of lower layers fat grafts were significantly higher than those of the other two layers (P?0.05). There was no significant difference in the above index between the middle layers and upper layers (P?>?0.05). Conclusions The lower centrifuged layer may be an ideal candidate for fat grafts.
