What is SVF?
SVF may include stromal, vascular-associated and immune cells. Composition varies with processing; fat grafts, nanofat and SVF are not interchangeable.

Areas of research
Research continues in skin and hair applications. Small studies do not establish universal efficacy, an optimal dose or long-term safety, and approval cannot be assumed for every indication.
Individual assessment
Goals, alternatives, medical history, tissue-harvest site and risks are reviewed. Infection, bleeding risk, uncontrolled illness and pregnancy require specific assessment; age alone does not determine suitability.
Process, risks and authorisation
Harvesting can cause pain, bruising, bleeding or contour changes; administration can cause infection or other reactions. Processing, sterility and applicable Turkish authorisations must be verified. Autologous origin does not eliminate risk.
Frequently asked questions
Is SVF purified stem cells?
No. It is a mixed cell fraction.
Is it risk-free because it is my tissue?
No. Harvesting, processing and administration each carry risks.
