First seen May 13, 2026 ยท Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new material called Acellular Adipose Tissue (AAT) to repair small to medium-sized soft tissue defects on the trunk (like scars or dents from injury). Fifteen adults received injections of AAT, and researchers checked how well the material stayed in place and improved appearance over 12 months. The goal was to see if AAT is safe and works better than current options like fat transfer or fillers.
