Can you use a family member's fat for a BBL?

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately you cannot use someone else's fat for a BBL/fat grafting procedures. The make up of your body will be different from that of your mother's so the fat transferred will not take. Your body will most likely reject it so the procedure would be void. The best thing to do would be find a board certified surgeon and have a consult with them to see what is possible as far as fat transfer from your own body. The fat can be taken from several places on your body such as thighs, arms, back, flanks, etc. Online discussions do not replace the advice of your physician. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall

This is a very common question with BBL. The answer is, no. Only autologous fat can be used, meaning your own body fat. However, schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and goals. There is always options. Best of luck.
