I appreciate your question.As nice as person as you are, you can not donate your fat to someone else as they will reject it.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately it is not possible at this time to donate your fat for body contouring in another person.  Their body would reject your tissues unless you put them on transplantation medicines to suppress their immune system.  The risks associated with using these medicines are too significant for use in cosmetic surgery.  Best wishes and good luck with helping your friend.

Hello linda adams Johnson,Thanks for your question.Unfortunately, at this time, it is not possible to donate your fat to someone else.  There would be an immune reaction which would cause your friend to lose the fat and possibly develop other problems.  You, however, are able to use your own fat to help achieve any shape you might desire, but your weight makes general anesthesia unsafe.  If you can reduce your weight, you could have both liposuction and a tummy tuck to restore a more feminine set of curves to your body.Good luck,Dr. Shah

​Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
No, this is not possible. A BBL is performed using your own fat tissue​.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Unfortunately, a fat transplant would require someone to go on anti-rejection medications, and the risks of using those meds outweigh reasonable use of someone else's fat.
