Answer: Fat arvesting and transfer Thank you for your question.Fat can be removed and implanted to another areas on the body.The higher percentage of adipocytes (fat clls) derived stem cells in aspirated fat the better survival of transferred cell at the recipient site.It is considered fat from anatomically related area has a better chance of survival when implanted. For example fat from your other hip are to another on the same hip or opposite hip.However, from from the stem cell content point of view it goes in descending order: fat from inner knees is richest in stem cells, then peri-umbilical fat and fat from outer thighs is with least stem cell properties.Swelling and bruising is common after fat transfer, sitting is allowed but shifting pressure and trying to distribute weight so pressure on treated areas is minimal is advisable during first 2 weeks. 30-50% of transferred fat cells might not survive in the new place and get reabsorbed by immune cells.
