Is It Possible to Get a Fat Transfer from Another Patient?
I have never heard of it but i feel it might be the only answer for me, just wondering if it had ever been done. My doctor took away way too much and i have no fat anywhere else on my body except my breasts, i just dont know what to do. Thank you

No, it's not possible (except for twins)
For the fat transfer procedure you need to use only your own body fat. It is not possible to harvest fat from another patient and successfully inject to your body. Based on the pictures provided by you, you still could be a good candidate for the liposuction from the abdomen area. I would definitely recommend to see an experienced plastic surgeon to determine what exactly could be done in your case.

No, you would need to use your own fat for a fat transfer
Unfortunately, you can only transfer your own fat. The only exception would be from an identical twin to yourself. But, even in this case, you would navigating on unchartered waters.
Based on your pictures, I would suggest additional liposuction to try and even out the areas. The other option would be Smartlipo MPX on the skin tightening mode to help even out the areas. Good luck with your procedures.

Not no but heck no to fat transfer from another patient!
It will be rejected like a kidney would be rejected from a donor that doesn't match.
You might benefit from a tummy tuck if you haven't had one already. Also, the tissue removed can be liposuctioned and used as a fat transfer. Be advised that a lot of the transfered fat will eventually go away.
You should have a serious talk with your surgeon, and seek second opinions.

Using fat from another patient would simply not work...
To answer your question, using fat from another patient would simply not work unless you have an identical twin. When you remove fat from your body the fat consists of live cells, and if they are injected into a different person, their immune system would attack the cells, possibly causing a dangerous reaction. I would see another board certified surgeon for a second opinion to see if maybe there are some areas in which he can liposuction some fat.

Fat transfer from other individuals is not an option

Fat transferred from another not good option
In theory, I would say that it is possible to take fat from an identical twin and have it injected into you. Otherwise, it would be another form of organ donation, and there are rejection risks, not to mention risks of disease transmission. So in short, this is not a good way to go about things.
As it appears in your photo, you appear to have contour abnormalities of the areas. This is a problem that is not easily addressed. There are still options where the hills in those areas can...

You might not need fat tranfer from another patient!
The short answer is no. But looking at your picture if your abdomen is the problem area you need some revision lipo with redistribution of the fat suctioned into some of the depressions that you have. The key is to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who does revision cases. These cases could take longer time due to the small size of the cannullas used.
Good Luck!
