Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Organization	Business and Organization Organization Fibrocell Science, Inc. (as used herein, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Fibrocell” or the “Company”) is the parent company of Fibrocell Technologies, Inc. (Fibrocell Tech). Fibrocell Tech is the parent company of Isolagen International, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (Isolagen Switzerland). The Company’s international activities are currently immaterial. Business Overview Fibrocell is an autologous cell and gene therapy company translating personalized biologics into medical breakthroughs. The Company is focused on discovering and developing therapies for the localized treatment of diseases affecting the skin and connective tissue. All of the Company’s product candidates incorporate its proprietary autologous fibroblast technology. The Company’s research and development efforts focus on gaining regulatory approvals of its product candidates in the United States. Liquidity and Financial Condition The Company expects to continue to incur losses and will require additional capital to advance its product candidates through development to commercialization. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $20.6 million and working capital of approximately $18.2 million. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2017 will be sufficient to fund operations into the second quarter of 2018. The Company will require additional capital to fund operations beyond that point. To meet its capital needs, the Company intends to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, collaborations, partnerships or other strategic transactions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. On March 10, 2017, the Company implemented a one-for-three reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the Reverse Stock Split), as authorized at a special meeting of stockholders on March 1, 2017. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 10, 2017 at 5:00 pm and the Company’s common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of business on March 13, 2017. As of a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every three shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of its common stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, which was rounded up to the next highest whole share. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the nominal par value per share of $0.001. The Reverse Stock Split was effectuated in order to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. By letter dated March 27, 2017, The NASDAQ Capital Market Listing Qualification Department, confirmed that the Company's common stock was in compliance with listing requirements. All share and per share amounts of common stock, options and warrants in the accompanying financial statements have been restated for all periods to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity reflects the impact of the Reverse Stock Split by reclassifying from “Common Stock” to “Additional paid-in capital” an amount equal to the par value of the decreased shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split.
