Gentle applied suction by means of a 10 ml syringe attached to the cannula allows efficient fat harvesting. Overharvest is important as the fat is mixed with blood products and anesthetic solution which must be extracted from the graft, and up to 50% of the injected fat will be absorbed.<\/p><h3><strong>Step 2: Processing the fat.<\/strong><\/h3><p>The harvested fat must be processed to separate the fat particles rich in stem cells from the blood, oil, and anesthetic solution. A centrifugation process is most efficient as it simultaneously concentrates the fat and separates it from the water and oil fractions of the harvest. The fat is spun for about 2 minutes at 1000 RPM. It is not necessary to centrifuge for long periods of time at high RPMs. On the contrary, this may damage the delicate fat particles and compromise their survival.<\/p><h3><strong>Step 3: Separating the fat. <\/strong><\/h3><p>The syringes containing the fat are carefully handled by the scrub nurse as she removes them from the centrifuge, making sure to maintain sterility throughout the whole process.<\/p><p>Each syringe will display three layers. A bright yellow layer made up of oil from ruptured cells can be seen at the top of the syringe. Underneath it is the layer that contains healthy fat particles for lipotransfer. At the bottom of the syringe is a dark red stratum of water containing blood and anesthetic solution. The oil is carefully poured off from the top of the syringe and the water component is discarded by allowing it to drain from the bottom.<\/p><h3><strong>Step 4: Preparing the fat for injection. <\/strong><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2209fb7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2209fb7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-86582da\" data-id=\"86582da\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33cf0d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"33cf0d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Preparacion-de-la-grasa-para-lipotransferencia.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Preparaci\u00f3n-de-la-grasa-para-lipotransferencia\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjAxNzYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuYXJ0ZWZhY2lhbC5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA2XC9QcmVwYXJhY2lvbi1kZS1sYS1ncmFzYS1wYXJhLWxpcG90cmFuc2ZlcmVuY2lhLndlYnAifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&apos;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&apos; viewBox%3D&apos;0 0 1024 683&apos;%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Preparacion-de-la-grasa-para-lipotransferencia.webp\" class=\"lazy-load attachment-large size-large wp-image-20176\" alt=\"Preparing the fat for injection\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Preparacion-de-la-grasa-para-lipotransferencia.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Preparacion-de-la-grasa-para-lipotransferencia-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Preparacion-de-la-grasa-para-lipotransferencia-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-408cdf5\" data-id=\"408cdf5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a241630 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a241630\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The middle layer containing stem cell- rich fat particles is transferred into 1-ml sterile syringes via a coupler device.
