The Amazing Power Of Fat

Fat is a versatile tissue that plays essential roles in the way our body functions, but one of the most remarkable is the role that fat may play in how we heal. A variety of studies over many decades have been conducted exploring the healing potential of fat. There is even documentation describing the use of fat to accelerate the healing of soldiers’ battle wounds during World War I! So what have we learned from history and research about the healing potential of fat?

FAT is the highest quality tissue

Adipose tissue contains a high concentration of  important reparative cells that may help support the healing process.

FAT provides cushion & support

Adipose tissue is a structural tissue and provides cushion and support to help the healing process. Microfragmented adipose tissue from the LIPOGEMS device may be used for patients who are undergoing orthopaedic or arthroscopic surgery.

Fat Gets A Bad Rap

In the past, FAT has been characterized as being bad for us; something to eliminate from a healthy diet and something to work off of our midsections. However, research has shown that not only is consuming certain types of FAT beneficial to our health, our own body FAT has many properties that are essential to optimize the body’s function, including cushioning and support for our joints and help support the repair of damaged or injured tissue.

Your own FAT tissue is vital to your body’s health and well-being; it is used as an energy source, insulates and cushions your body, and is essential to the proper function of your nerves and muscles. Additionally, your fat can help cushion and support structures. In short, FAT doesn’t deserve its bad reputation!
