Liposuction is a commonly performed surgical technique used for body contouring, which entails the removal of excess adipose tissue. In recent times, there has been a growing interest in utilizing the harvested fat from liposuction procedures for various applications, such as regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Assessing the in vitro viability of these fat cells can offer valuable insights into their functionality and potential for transplantation. The objective of this review article is to examine the in vitro viability of liposuction-derived fat by focusing on two crucial parameters: proliferation rate and cell yield. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, we aim to shed light on the factors that influence fat cell viability and explore potential strategies to enhance their survival and functionality.The evaluation of proliferation rate and cell yield serves as a fundamental approach to determine the viability of liposuctionderived fat cells in vitro. Proliferation rate refers to the ability of fat cells to divide and multiply, while cell yield indicates the total number of viable cells obtained from the liposuction procedure. These parameters are essential in assessing the potential of these cells for tissue regeneration and transplantation. Several factors have been identified as influential in determining the in vitro viability of liposuction-derived fat cells. These factors include the donor characteristics, such as age, sex, and body mass index, as well as the technique used during the liposuction procedure. Furthermore, the processing and storage methods employed after fat extraction can also have a significant impact on cell viability. In conclusion, understanding the in vitro viability of liposuction-derived fat cells is crucial for their successful utilization in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
