Can my mom donate fat to me to transfer it to my butt?

Thank you for your question. With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other.  These fat cells are transferred in microinjections throughout multiple planes in the buttock tissue so that they can gain new blood supply and live in their new home, providing increased volume and shape to the buttocks.  The fat must be your own, your body will reject any fat coming from another person. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately only one's own fat can be transferred to the buttocks in a Brazilian Butt Lift. Fat is often taken from an area near the buttocks such as the flanks or abdomen to accentuate the shape of the buttocks. I would recommend to have an in person consultation to discuss your goals and candidacy.

Thank you for your question.





No, unfortunately you can not use someone else's fat.  Your body 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.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is not safe to use another person's fat for a transfer for the BBL procedure. You will need to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you have enough fat for your own transfer. If you do not, you might consider gluteal implants to give you the desired shape. 

Thank you for your question. The fat harvested for your BBL needs to come from your own body. Fat from another person will most likely be rejected and not take. The fat can be harvested from any part of your body for instance arms, thighs, back, flanks, etc. Discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon about where he/she is planning to be harvesting the fat for your BBL from on your own body. If you have not yet met with a surgeon be sure to pick one that is board certified and performs BBLs at least 100 procedures per year. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall
