i am considering having surgery on my butt with the Brazilian Butt Lift, but I don't have enough fat of my own for it. I was wondering if I could take my sister with me to the surgery and use some of hers for my Butt augmentation? Butt implants are not an option.

You can only use your own fat in a Brazilian butt lift

A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and grafting this fat to the gluteal (butt) region. This is a safe and great way to create a tight waist and abdomen and a full, beautiful bottom. Many patients ask us if we can use the fat from a friend or family member in this surgery. Although we are all grateful for people that are willing to donate, unfortunately a patient can only use their own fat for a... more

Brazilian Butt lift using another donor person's fat

The only person who could be used for a fat transfer is theoretically an identical twin sibling. Otherwise donor fat is not acceptable.

Buttock augmentation

No, i am afraid only your own fat is usable.  Even if your sister was an identical twin, it wouldn't any good for you!

Brazilian Butt Enhancement

Sorry, ONLY YOUR FAT can be used. Most of the time you will be able to find some fat from you to use. If youdo not have any fat then the only option you have is an implant, or if you have enough skin and fat in the lower stomach for a tummy tuck then you may use that as dermis fatt graft for butt enhancement.

Brazilian Butt Lift with Someone Else's Fat

Fat is NOT an inert material. It is a living tissue that has our own individuality stamped all over it. Like all tissues in our body, each one of us has individual sequences of protein and long sugar molecules on our cell walls which declare our individuality to our own body protection system. As a result, our immunity protection system recognizes our own cell chemical sequences as "self" and will see every other sequence, be it a bacteria, a virus, your sister's / cousin's or... more

Can I use my Sister's Fat for my Brazilian Butt Lift?

Hi there- The Brazilian Butt Lift is a fantastic technique that we do often with great success-- but could not be done using your sister's fat (unless she is your identical twin). This is because your body would re-absorb the fat almost immediately after injection, recognizing it to be from another person. In patients like yourself, often the best strategy is to have you gain a bit of weight. Once you have enough fat to redistribute to your particular goal, the procedure can be done. After... more

Using your sister's fat for a brazillian butt lift

This is a great question. The answer is maybe but probably not. The only way this would work is if your sister is an identical twin. Otherwise your body will recognize her fat as foreign and reject it. At Tri Valley Plastic Surgery we have performed autologous tissue transfer on twins with good results. I hope this helps.
