MATT is an abbreviation for microfragmented adipose tissue transplantation.
Microfragmented fat
Microfragmented fat is produced from belly or thigh fat that has been aspirated using a plastic surgery syringe and then passed through a mechanical device which frees the portion called the 'stromal vascular fraction' (SVF) where pluripotent cells migrate off the small blood vessels where they usually reside. They move to damaged areas and facilitate healing.
