This is going to sound gross but say if my mom was going to get liposuction and I was doing a fat transfer at the same time can I use her fat?
Answer: Fat transfer No, you cannot use fat from another donor. Because another person's tissue would be recognized as foreign to the recipient, your body would not accept the donated tissue. Patients who undergo organ transplants (kidney, lung, etc.) undergo extensive testing and months of immunosuppressants among other precautions to attempt a successful transplant.

Answer: Donor Fat For Transfer To Another Person This is not possible currently. Fat is like an organ and unfortunately cannot be transferred to another person. I am currently doing research for this. Identical twins may work but there is also risk of infection spread. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Donor Fat This is absolutely not safe. Fat has antigenic properties ( properties unique to each person) and a transfer from one human to another could cause very serious and life threatening issues

Answer: Donor fat? It is absolutely unacceptable to use donor fat in any fat transfer. There are numerous specific proteins and other unique antigens that are carried by each individual. If they are transferred into another person, a severe allergic reaction commences. This produces a foreign allergic reaction. It can be extremely dangerous and even life-threatening. Hope this helps. Good luck.
