Can I use someone else fat for a Brazilian butt lift?

Question

Germán Newall, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. It is not an option to use someone else's fat for your BBL. The fat will be rejected by your body. Be sure to have a board certified plastic surgeon examine you to determine how much fat can be harvested and from where on your body. Hope this helps.Best,Dr. Newall

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

Fat transfer is the process by which a candidate's native fat is moved from an area of excess to a deficiency. This differs significantly from a transplant where the donor tissue is foreign and requires immunosuppression to avoid rejection. Shy of gentically identical twin-twin transplant, there is no way to transfer fat between patients without immunosuppression.Thus, simply put, you cannot use someone else's fat for BBL/fat transfer.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Reza Rod, MD · Answer

Definitely not.  If you were to use someone else's fat your body's immune system would immediately attack the tissue.  In organ transplant operations there is extensive research done to find a compatible donor and even then the person is on immunosuppressant drugs for their lifetime.  There's usually some fat somewhere that can be harvested but if not we'll work to come up with other options.  I wish you the best of luck!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You can not use someone else's fat. It would be like a transplant and it would reject unless you went on immunosuppression which can be associated with its own risks.

Jeffrey Thaxton, MD FACS · Answer

No it is not possible to use someone else's fat.  Unless that person is an identical twin you would reject it and even if they were the risk of disease transmission would make it something that most surgeons would not be willing to do.
