If someone is thinking about getting lipo instead of having to gain all their weight to have the doctor transfer it (because i am not very meaty) what would be the protocol of using someone elses? I know there's a risk of the body rejecting the fat but are there ways to prevent that or should it just not be done at all?
Answer: Transfer fat from a friend?? Sorry you would reject the cells just like a kidney or organ can be rejected. Since fat transfer is not needed to safe your life it's not worth a lifetime of immunosuppression to see if it might work. If you are interested in fat transfer your first step is a consultation to learn more about the process and you can see what is possible and what is not. Good luck! Dr K
