Where Does Donor Tissue Come From for Plastic Surgery?

Asked By:MakenzieR in Seattle, WA

After coming across an article on MMA fighters getting tissue implants from donors, I'm curious to know where the cadavers come from? Are they from any deceased organ donor? How about the tissue used to create a tissue matrix like AlloDerm? Hoping to shine some light in reference to a RealSelf blog post.
