It is certainly a nice thought and kind gesture, but no, you cannot donate your fat to someone else.Fat is not like blood that can be tested, separated into components, and processed to give to similar "type" individuals.Fat, as in all the tissues of our body, has specific genetic make up and chemical / protein markers that make us unique and individual and will be rejected if transferred to someone else.People who receive life saving transplanted organs have to stay on lifelong immuno-suppressive drugs to prevent rejection, which certainly cannot be justified for cosmetic procedures.
No donor would ever agree to take the immunosuppresant medications that would be required for life to prevent the fat from resolving. Breast augmentation with fat is best suited for those patlients who desire shaping and more fullness obtained with their own tissues. It is a procedure that has been performed safely since the early 1990's. Mammographic micro-calcifications are distinguishable from malignant ones with modern mamogram technology. More than one procedure is required to obtain the results that most augmentation patients. Liposuction with fat transfer may be accomplished without general anesthesia with associated mild post-operative pain. Recovery is only a matter of days. In the long run it should not cost more than breast implant augmentation when we take into account that the fat lasts and does not have to be replaced in the future as implants do.Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately it is not possible to donate tissue to another person for augmentation purposes at this time. That would constitute a tissue transplant. Without immunosuppression the persons body would reject your tissue. Hope this helps. All the best.
YOu could if the donor was your identical twin. Of course if you had an identical twin she's probably have big breats too.
I would not recommend fat transfer for your breast issue. From your pictures it looks like you need a lift. If you want more volume you can have implants placed but you already look large. This might have to be staged. Fat transfer is effective but not a solution for all problem...
Smoking cessation for 3 weeks prior to surgery AND after is a reasonable amount of time. The longer the better, but it is also important to avoid nicotine replacement as well. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor which means that is can reduce blood flow to surgical areas when used as a gum or patch....
Thank you for your question. Pricing for a fat grafting (transfer) procedure will vary greatly depending upon the specific of the case (including how many areas are required to liposuction to harvest enough fat for the augmentation and length of procedure), geographical location of your s...
