    GlossaryVascularized Adipose Tissue

    fat tissue rich in blood vessels

    Vascularized Adipose Tissue (VAT) refers to fat tissue that is rich in blood vessels. This type of tissue is important because the blood vessels supply the necessary nutrients and oxygen, which can enhance the survival and function of the fat cells. In medical and cosmetic procedures, such as fat grafting, ensuring that the adipose tissue is well-vascularized can improve the success and longevity of the treatment.
