Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Recipient Tissues Improves the Viability of Murine Fat Transfer

Background: Local ischemia before the development of recipient circulation may contribute to the highly variable long-term results of fat grafting. Remote ischemic preconditioning before adipose procurement augments the retention of fat grafts and limits subsequent liposclerosis. However, there is no literature examining what role remote ischemic preconditioning has on the fat graft recipient site. Methods: Subcutaneous adipose tissue from...
