If I Dont Have Enough Fat for Transfer to Breast Can I Use Fat frm Someone Else?
Breast Augmentation barely works with your own fat let alone someone elses!!! Breast Augmentation using fat is very unpredictable and I have done implants in many women that had the fat done first...It just seems to fade away with time. And as most of the surgeons on this site will tell you, it is very possible to get implants that neither look or feel fake!...Really!

Fat Donor for Someone Else - Possible?
Can someone else be my fat donor ? - only if that person is also your identical twin. If not the process of immunologic rejection would cause all the fat to die, along with a host of other potential complications that would occur.

Fat transfer
Simple answer. Absolutely not! I don't even think you would be able to find a reputable surgeon willing to perform such a procedure. If you have decided you do not want implants, there is truly no other option available for you.

Can fat be donated for fat grafting
Unfortunately, any fat grafting procedure that is done requires the fat be harvested from the patient and transplanted immediately in the same patient. Although intriguing, science has not yet developed a method of cryogenically storing fat for future transplantation nor have we come up with a method of allowing donors to provide fat due to the major issue of tissue rejection that would occur from donor to donor.

You can't have someone else's fat (or heart, or kidney, etc.) without lifelong anti-rejection drugs!
Fat is unique tissue (just like other organs that may be transplanted) that cannot be transferred from one patient to another without the use of lifelong anti-rejection medications. Even if you were willing and financially able to take these medications for the rest of your life, the foreign fat would certainly die much more readily than your own fat grafts, which is a procedure that is neither mainstream nor recommended!

Breast Augmentation question
You can only use your own fat which is why this is not a popular treatment for thin females. The fat grafting procedure is one done more in breast reconstruction in my practice then for cosmetic purposes. I prefer saline implants placed under the muscle and I use a one inch incision in the arm pit so my patients have no breast scars. I use a camera called an endoscope to make this a truly advanced and minimally invasive procedure. I hope this helps!

Sorry, you can't use someone else's fat to transfer to your breast
Usually when we think about fat grafting into the breast we hope to acheive a one half to perhaps a one cup size increase. With such a modest change, and an interest in a two cup increase, the implant is your better choice. And sorry, you cannot use someone else's fat.

If I Dont Have Enough Fat for Transfer to my Breast Can I Use Fat from Someone Else?
Unfortunately, no. Your body would "reject" the fat, just like it would if you had a transplanted kidney from another person without taking alot of very serious medications to fight rejection. If we could donate fat from other people, I think most plastic surgeons would have given away all their own fat by now! :)
