Optimization and Standardization of the Immunodeficient Mouse Model for Assessing Fat Grafting Outcomes

Animal models are often used to assess interventions that might improve fat grafting outcomes; however, there is great variability in the models. The authors sought to determine the predictive value of the immunocompromised mouse model for fat grafting so that experiments could be standardized and optimized.Human lipoaspirate injections at different volumes and time points were assessed in a nude mouse model and compared with control injections...
