Can Donor Fat Be Transfered Into A Very Thin Male Body?

I'm a 25 yr old boy. I wanna know 1)can a person who is too thin, almost and ectomorph, have a Stem Cell Fat Transfer on the cheek? 2)Can other person's fat be used for fat transfer? 3)Kindly,also tell me what happens to the doner area after the fat is taken from it? Actually, my right cheek, just beside nose region, is depressed & almost has no fat/muscle under it because of En Coup De Sabre Morphea. Some doctors have suggested me fat transfer & few artefill. Hence, I wanna know abt it.Thx
