Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Research in tissue engineering has developed rapidly over the last years and offers alternative strategies for soft tissue augmentation, which might be superior to traditional surgical options. METHODS: This review article gives an outline of the basics of tissue engineering and reviews the latest research in this field. RESULTS: The principle of this new approach is either to cultivate living cells of an organism outside of the target tissue to finally implant them to the same organism (in vitro tissue engineering) or to insert a matrix into an organism to induce the generation of tissue and to restore the proper function of the tissue (in vivo tissue engineering). There are numerous different approaches available to generate adipose tissue. CONCLUSIONS: The conventional reparative approach will be replaced by a regenerative approach.
