Methods of treating patients for conditions such as breast augmentation, soft tissue defects, and urinary incontinence, are described. The methods include removing adipose tissue from a patient, processing a portion of the adipose tissue to obtain a substantially isolated population of regenerative cells, mixing the regenerative cells with another portion of adipose tissue to form a composition, and administering the composition to the patient from which the adipose tissue was removed.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of processing adipose tissue to augment autologous fat transfer to a subject, comprising: removing a first portion of unprocessed adipose tissue that comprises a cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells from a subject; introducing the first portion of unprocessed adipose tissue that comprises said cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells into a self-contained adipose-derived stem cell processing unit, wherein said self-contained adipose derived stem cell processing unit comprises: a tissue collection chamber that is configured to receive unprocessed adipose tissue that is removed from a patient, wherein said tissue collection chamber is defined by a closed system; a first filter that is disposed within said tissue collection chamber, wherein said first filter is configured to retain a first component of said unprocessed adipose tissue and pass a second component of said unprocessed adipose tissue, such that said first filter separates said first component from said second component, and wherein said first component comprises a cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells and said second component comprises lipid, mature adipocytes, and saline; a processing chamber, which is configured to receive said first component comprising said cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells from said tissue collection chamber, wherein said processing chamber is within said closed system; a conduit configured to allow passage of said first component comprising said cell population comprising adipose-derived stem cells from said tissue collection chamber to said processing chamber while maintaining a closed system; a cell concentrator disposed within said processing chamber, which is configured to facilitate the concentration of said first component comprising said cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells so as to obtain a concentrated population of cells that comprises adipose-derived stem cells, wherein said cell concentrator comprises a centrifuge or a filter; and an outlet configured to allow the aseptic removal of said concentrated population of cells that comprise adipose-derived stem cells; separating and concentrating said cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells from said first portion of adipose tissue within said self-contained adipose-derived stem cell processing unit while maintaining said closed pathway to obtain a concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells; mixing said concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells with a second portion of unprocessed adipose tissue comprising intact, non disaggregated tissue fragments from said subject so a to obtain a mixture of the unprocessed adipose tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells; and providing said mixture of the unprocessed adipose tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells to said subject. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing said mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells to a breast of the subject. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing said mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells to a soft-tissue region of the subject to treat a soft-tissue defect. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing said mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells to a urethral region of the subject to treat urinary incontinence. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells further comprises progenitor cells. 6. The method of claim 1, multiple doses of the mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells is provided to said subject. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing one or more angiogenic factors to the mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the one or more arteriogenic factors to the mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing one or more immunosuppressive drugs to the mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising culturing said concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells prior to mixing said cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells with said second portion of unprocessed adipose tissue comprising intact, non disaggregated tissue fragments from said subject. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said culturing step comprises exposing said concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells to culture conditions that promote differentiation towards an endothelial phenotype. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein said culturing step is performed on a scaffold. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein said scaffold is resorbable in vivo. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the adipose-derived stem cells are modified by gene transfer. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the gene induces or inhibits angiogenesis. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the gene induces or inhibits arteriogenesis. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the gene induces or inhibits apoptosis. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells promotes neovascularization. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the neovascularization remains stable after the administered adipose-tissue composition is no longer present. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells reduces necrosis. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject is human. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein the fat transfer procedure is selected from the group consisting of fat grafts to the subject's lips, fat grafts to the subject's nasiolabioals, fat grafts to the subject's wrinkles, fat grafts to the subject's undereyes, fat grafts to the subject's cheeks, fat grafts to the subject's chin, fat grafts to the subject's temples, fat grafts to the subject's breasts, fat grafts to the subject's thighs, fat grafts to the subject's calves, fat grafts to the subject's arms, fat grafts to the subject's abdomen, fat grafts to the subject's urethral sphincter, and fat grafts to the subject's rectal sphincter. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixture of the unprocessed adipose-tissue and the concentrated cell population that comprises adipose-derived stem cells is provided to said subject while maintaining a closed pathway.
