Use a Friend or Family Member's Fat for Fat Transfer?

At this time you can't use other people's fat for a fat transfer.  The fat will not survive.  You have to use your own from a good donor site such as the abdomen.

Unless the donor was your identical twin, your body would recognize the injected fat cells as being different than your own cells ("foreign") and would begin to attack the injected fat via your immune system.  The fat would be eliminated rapidly, within a few weeks, and soon, no fat would be left.


Maybe some day in the future....
