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

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

Sorry, you cannot transfer fat from one person to another because of a phenomena called rejection.  Only tissue from an identical twin can be transfered. 

Fat transfer from another person doesn't work with the possible exception of an identical twin and still may not work with them.

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....
