It it possible to transfer my fat to someone else?

Question

I've got a big belly and I'm only 25, Is there any way for me to donate my excess fat to someone else who needs it?

Alyson Wells, MD, FACS · Answer

You sound like a caring and generous person for even offering!  We do not have a technique that would allow for donation of tissue like fat to another person.  Much like a kidney or heart transplant, the fat would be rejected by the immune system of the person receiving it.  I am asked this question on a regular basis by many patients, though!

Hi, thanks for your question.
It is not possible to donate your fat to another person, unfortunately it is not compatible and it is not possible, if you need it to improve some area of your body like the buttocks yes you can, but in yourself, do not use on another person.

Thank you for your question, I am sorry to tell you but we can not transfer your fat to another body. The other someone else's body simply will not accept it.
