It would be amazing if some % of the transplanted brown fat remains indefinitely. If so, it could be a lifelong calorie burning machine.
Plastic surgeons achieve 50-60% survival of grafted fat with modern techniques. I couldn’t tell from the study if brown fat would be any different, or if the quantity required would make the procedure a hassle.
Let’s solve for the equilibrium. Kim Kardashian will graft a bunch of brown fat into sexually dimorphic areas. This will have the dual benefit of increased (conventional) attractiveness and fat burning, which will make her yet more normatively attractive, in a virtuous cycle.
