Borrowed Curves: Donor Fat Contouring Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe AlloClae, an injectable made from donated human fat tissue, used to fill hip dips, add shape to the buttocks or adjust the chest. Writers came to it after a second baby, after nursing three children, after losing weight on weekly injections or through bariatric surgery, after old liposuction left dents or one side lower, and after implants began to ripple. They include a second grade teacher, an ER nurse who chose it over a butt lift, a runner too lean for fat transfer, a school bus driver, a trans woman, a nurse injector, and women treated after breast cancer and reconstruction. They write from Austin to Spokane and Brooklyn to Savannah. Their accounts cover consultations that felt rushed, surgeons who advised less or said no, nerves about sedation, a family history of clots, telling the radiologist before a mammogram, touch-up visits, four-hour drives and a no-soaking rule that cancelled a summer of pools. Many were back at a desk or a class quickly, though sitting was hard for some. Not every result held up: one writer felt much of hers faded, another found it was not enough, others met a lump, an infection or loose skin that no filler could fill, and several note that nobody yet knows how results look years on.

Who it's for

For anyone weighing a donor fat filler for hips, buttocks or chest, including those hoping to correct an earlier procedure, and for the friends and partners asked to drive them home.
