Can Fat Be Donated for Butt Augmentation?

nickiwayneJul 17, 2010
I have done some research and am interested in getting butt augmentation by fat transfer, but I cannot gain weight for the life of me! My doctor has mentioned some medicines to increase hunger and gain weight but they have a risk of increased blood pressure, heart complications, and diabetes. My question is this: is there any way to have fat transferred from somebody else? maybe a relative or someone with the same blood type?

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

IT is difficult to assess the situation without photos or knowing the amount of fat removed. You may want to discuss this with your surgeon. IT most likely is normal swelling but should be evaluated.

There may be some simple reasons for no bowel movement yet. 1.  Your intake of food after surgery may be less than it was before surgery. 2.  The bowels may be slowed because of the surgical stress and the use of pain medications You should not concern yourself at this...
