Can the donor in breast augmentation with fat tranfer be a relative?

Rin_BlueMay 29, 2018
If i don't have enough fat for the procedure, can my sister, who definitely has, ve the donor? Will that affect the cost? I'm a defltated B-cup, due to yoyo dieting (which i have stopped and now i maintain a healthy weight) and i'd like a full C-cup, or as close to D cup as possible. My main fat storagr is in my thighs but i do not believe the fat in my body is enough to achieve the change i want. Also, i like the rest of my body and wish to change nothing about it.

LAW412.   I appreciate your proactive approach, but supplements, protein shakes and abstaining from alcohol will not affect your result. However, avoiding exercises involving the chest and chest muscles for two or three months after surgery is a good idea. Consult with a board-certified p...

Mammaoffour  There should be no drastic change in size and color of your nipples after fat transfer for breast augmentation. The result is similar to breast augmentation with implants. Discuss all aspects of this procedure with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.
