‘He can say he went to the gym’: people are pumping themselves with fat from corpses to perk up their pecs, boobs and butts

‘Zombie filler’, or using cadaver tissue that’s been sterilized and branded as Alloclae, is the latest cosmetic surgery rage. Is it safe?

      This is no more cannibalism than organ donation is, but it’s also completely unnecessary.

    I have no problem with my organs going to saving or restoring lives. If my eyes can give you sight, go for it.

    I would not even have a problem with my body fat going to the example of the woman who had a bad accident and received that body fat to look normal again.

    But if a body builder wants to look cute, he can fuck right off, and I will fucking haunt the people using my body parts for vanity.

    I understand that the line between life restoring and vanity can be argued about, but I’d say 99% of these cases is just vanity projects. Fuck those, I have zero patience or will for that. I don’t care how much money you got, I’m dead already, a billion won’t do anything

    Originally read it as ‘pets.’

    Which is much less creepy.

    In the back of Steinbrech’s clinic, a 68-year-old patient (who asks not to be identified by name) is prepping for an Alloclae procedure. Steinbrech calls him a “one-percenter”, as in, he’s in the highest percentile of physical fitness for his demographic. He has a full back, toned arms and a pronounced chest. Still, he’s having 100cc of treated, shelf-stable, room-temperature donor fat, collected sometime in the last six months, injected into his upper pectorals. Carefully deposited into his chest, the Alloclae will, if everything goes according to plan, pass as muscle to the naked eye. “It’s just a little enhancement,” the patient shrugs.

    “It’s a common problem,” Steinbrech explains, as he marks up his patient with a magic marker, highlighting the upper chest where he will be injected. “I have all these fit, totally ripped guys that have no fat [for liposuction].” On a nearby tray, eight 12.5cc syringes are arranged, branded with the Alleclae logo, and filled with an opaque, custard yellow goo.

    Wow. That’s crazy

      Body dismorphia is a mental illness.

      There’s no way this actually looks good in a couple years.

      because there’s also a ton of living people who could have their fat taken to make them healthier so some weirdo can inject it into their body.

        If I were to have liposuction done and that fat was used for someone else or turned into candles, have I been harmed?

        I agree this is completely pointless, but the risks are no different than organ donation, particularly living organ donors.
