Abstract
Autologous adipose tissue transplantation is widely used for cosmetic and reconstruction of various areas in the body, often to repair soft tissue volume loss or contoured deformation. However, the application of fat transplantation is limited by unstable and unpredictable volume retention rates. At present, promoting adipose tissue survival and inhibiting its death is the key to improve the effect of autologous fat transplantation. In this paper, we propose a hypothesis that ferroptosis exists in fat transplantation. The bases of this hypothesis include the following: (1) the association between ferroptosis and other programmed cell death; (2) the association between ferroptosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury; and (3) the use of ferroptosis inhibitors in the field of fat transplantation.
