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

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....

Injecting someone else's fat cells into you would cause rejection by your immune system. Furthermore there could be a risk of non-detected disease transmission. Fat injections must transfer your host cells from a donor area to your recipient area in which you desire the aesthetic result of facial volumization with fillers.
