Where do they get this human fat from (for Renuva) and can I donate my fat to them?

Very interesting question! Renuva undergoes rigorous testing and is regulated by the FDA.
The company has a very sophisticated and complex tissue screening process that removes all cells and DNA from the tissue. This process leaves only the growth factors, collagens and proteins the body needs to fill up the Renuva matrix, thereby building fat cells.
During the first three months after treatment, Renuva is slowly eliminated by the body, leaving only the patient’s own fat. The makers of Renuva do not accept fat donated from liposuction procedures. But that is so generous of you! We would all donate some, right?!

The makers of Renuva do not accept donated fat from liposuction procedures. The company has a very complex tissue screening and strict manufacturing process that removes all cells and DNA from the tissue. Only the growth factors, collagens and proteins remain – this is the Renuva matrix, a honeycomb-like scaffold that, when injected, is used by your body to grow fat cells in the injected area.

This product comes from human fat. It is not An allograft of fat but rather the tissue matrix structure that holds fat cells.I don’t think the company is looking for individuals to donate fat but you could always contact them to find out if they’re looking for fat donors. My best guess is that the company has existing arrangements with plastic surgeons who do liposuction and have a contracted to collect fat with patient consent through those practices who are part of their network.i’ve been involved with skin collection for cadaveric skin products and that’s how it was done.I’m curious if you see this as a way of getting free liposuction, a way of getting paid or simply a curious soul?Mats Hagstrom MD
