Re: [DIYbio] How does one hire a bio lab technician for consulting?

I think you have an interesting project idea from your previous posts
and literature research, but it seems like you'll run into a number of
issues. I hesitate to ask the "why" of why you want to re-inject
adipocyte stem-cells back into yourself because usually people that
want to do something like this have reasons no one else can talk them
out of.

Not judging though, because I have some serious pathological body
dysmorphia issues from a rare endocrine disorder, and I'm on
endocrinologist supervised treatment, but it never feels like enough.
I assume this is what it feels like to be anorexic or obsessed with
plastic surgery. People see things about themselves no one else does.

If you're dead set on it, you're probably going to have to do it
yourself. That's going to make it difficult and expensive, and
dangerous. You could die from an infection or immune response. I
assume everyone has a "right" to self-treat themselves, but to what
extent another may be liable for manslaughter if it goes awry, I have
no idea.

What's your end measurable of it "working"? Never aging? No
wrinkles? No cellulite? You're going to inject it all over your entire
body that's covered with fat tissue?

Skip the headache/lawsuit/hospital bill of doing it yourself if you're
dead-set on it and talk to
https://www.bostonstemcell.com/stem-cell-therapy/fat-graft/ at least
you can sue a doctor if it goes awry. $900-$6,000 and only one google
away!

Good luck hope you find what you're looking for.
