An unusual trend in the field of aesthetics is gaining attention in the U.S., where processed fat from donated bodies is being used for cosmetic procedures. This method, known as the use of "necrocosmetics," involves treating and purifying human fatty tissues, which are then injected to restore volume in various areas of the body.
The technique has been developed as a less invasive alternative to traditional plastic surgery, avoiding operations and anesthesia, while promising more natural results.
However, this practice has sparked a major ethical debate. Criticism focuses on the use of materials from deceased bodies and the lack of transparency in how these tissues are obtained and used. Experts emphasize that, although the procedure is legal and also used for medical purposes, such as tissue reconstruction, its application for aesthetic reasons raises serious questions.
