Can I Get Fat Injections in my Breasts if I am Thin?

November 9, 2010
Asked By:RSMember1204 in andover, ma

I am 5'7. 125 pounds. I'm in my twenties. I have hardly any fat other places on my body and the place that I do have it (my butt) is a place that I want to keep my fat. Is it possible to take fat from others? I'm nervous about implants because I'm afraid it won't feel or look natural, so this method appealed to me. When I learned the fat had to come from me, however, I got nervous. What would you suggest?
