You just countered yourself. Fat cells =/= stemcells. A fully developed human (read:non-embrionic) has very few sources of stem cells, although I do recall hearing somewhere that there was still a way to get stem cells from adults. I think it as from bone marrow or a similar source, though, so that's right out.
Odds are they're using the fat to help the stem cells in creating the right kind of tissue.
