MFAT (Microfragmented Adipose Tissue) is a same-day, in-office procedure that uses a small amount of your own fat to deliver concentrated regenerative cells to injured joints or soft tissues. It is one of our most advanced regenerative medicine treatments and part of our nonsurgical pain solutions.
MFAT Cell Therapy is a powerful option for treating moderate to severe orthopedic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, and rotator cuff tendon tears, when PRP or conservative care hasn’t been enough. Because it uses your own tissue, it reduces the risks of side effects and rejection. The procedure involves collecting a small amount of fat tissue, processing it to concentrate the regenerative cells, and then injecting it precisely into the damaged area using ultrasound guidance.
Adipose (fat) tissue is rich in regenerative cells, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory proteins. When microfragmented and injected into damaged joints, these cells can help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support the regeneration of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. MFAT provides a more concentrated and potent regenerative treatment compared to PRP alone, making it ideal for more advanced conditions.
MFAT treatments are individualized and specific to each patient’s health goals. Our physicians, led by Dr. Romero, offer a comprehensive program to maximize treatments with MFAT for your overall health. Along with nutrition and lifestyle changes, the treatments and sports rehab services included in each program are ideal for those looking for an all-inclusive experience. MFAT can also be combined with shockwave therapy for enhanced results.
Our clinic offers in-house diagnostic MSK ultrasound for same-day diagnosis and for guided injections. Dr. Kendall Stewart performs MSK imaging. Ultrasound guidance ensures that MFAT is delivered precisely to the target area for the best possible treatment outcome.
