Is It Possible to Get a Fat Transfer from Another Patient?

Unfortunately, you can only transfer your own fat. The only exception would be from an identical twin to yourself. But, even in this case, you would navigating on unchartered waters.
Based on your pictures, I would suggest additional liposuction to try and even out the areas. The other option would be Smartlipo MPX on the skin tightening mode to help even out the areas. Good luck with your procedures.

Unfortunately fat cannot be taken from someone else and used
for augmentation. The fat can only come from you! If you are just trying
to correct liposuction deformities then it is usually possible to find some fat
from various areas.


You would need to be seen in person by a board certified plastic surgeon that performs
a lot of fat transfer procedures. Your
surgeon would have to evaluate you in person to determine first what is
correctable and what is not, and how much fat would be needed to make the
corrections.

Fat cells are living tissue.  Your immune system will attack anything that is not your own unless it has exactly the same markers on the cell membrane.  This is the reason why all organ transplants have to be on life long immunosuppression.  At this point only an identical twin could donate fat cells to you.   

Can my friend be my fat donor ? - only if your friend is also your identical twin. If not the process of immunologic rejection would cause all the fat to die, along with a host of other potential complications that would occur.

To answer your question, using fat from another patient would simply not work unless you have an identical twin.  When you remove fat from your body the fat consists of live cells, and if they are injected into a different person, their immune system would attack the cells, possibly causing a dangerous reaction.  I would see another board certified surgeon for a second opinion to see if maybe there are some areas in which he can liposuction some fat.

For the fat transfer procedure you need to use only your own body fat. It is not possible to harvest fat from another patient and successfully inject to your body. Based on the pictures provided by you, you still could be a good candidate for the liposuction from the abdomen area. I would definitely recommend to see an experienced plastic surgeon to determine what exactly could be done in your case.

You cannot have fat transfer from another patient.  Your body would reject the fat and it could cause a serious infection.
You should consult a board certified plastic surgeon for your revision, which could include revision liposuction and possibly other procedures.

In theory, I would say that it is possible to take fat from an identical twin and have it injected into you. Otherwise, it would be another form of organ donation, and there are rejection risks, not to mention risks of disease transmission. So in short, this is not a good way to go about things.

As it appears in your photo, you appear to have contour abnormalities of the areas. This is a problem that is not easily addressed. There are still options where the hills in those areas can benefit from very conservative lipo to bring them down, and perhaps the injection of some small amounts of fat into the valleys to bring them up. This procedure is not fool-proof and has its problems as well.

Hope that helps you out.

The brief answer is NO; you cannot get fat from someone else. However, if you look, you should be able to get some from other locations.
I recently had a marathon ruuner requesting fat injection, and the only place I could obtain fat on her was the back of her arms.

No, but it appears that you may have some extra fat in upper abdomen and possibly other areas that could be transfered to the lower abdomen depressions. The fat transfers must be made with small amounts and multiple passes. A small amount of fat transferred could make a big difference in your case.
