Only a patient's own fat can be used in a Brazilian butt lift
Believe it or not, this is one of the most common questions we receive. The beauty of a Brazilian butt lift is that the final results are 100% you. Your body accepts the fat that is transferred to the that butt because it is all you. For this reason, we can only use your own tissue. If we injected tissue or cells from another person, even a family member, your body will recognize as foreign and mount a very severe response against it.

Donors and fat graft options for Brazilian Butt lift
The only suitable donor for a fat graft is an identical twin. Other than that, I am not aware of any other options for grafting that would minimize the chance of rejection at this point in time. Stem cell therapy may offer more options in the future but currently are prohibitively expensive.

If you do not have enough fat and wish to improve the shape of your buttocks then buttocks implants are your best solution.

Brazilian Butt Lift requires your own fat
Hi there-
Unfortunately, unless you have an identical twin, it would not be possible to have someone donate fat for your Brazilian Butt Lift. Your best bet is to visit with a surgeon very experienced in this technique and consult about your options- in my practice I have had great success with patients like yourself by having them gain a bit of weight before surgery.
After the operation you will be free to lose the excess weight, confident that while your whole body will get...
