I spoke with a Dr recently and he said he can extract 1000 cc's out of me. I was kind of confused what does Dr's usually mean by that when they give me this ball park figure. The Dr said he can take out 1000cc's will all of it be 100% fat. Or does he mean it will contain blood and other liquids within that 1000's before he purifies it, so 30% or 40% will be fat? This will give me better understanding of how much cc's of pure fat will be injected per cheek.
The simple idea behind a Brazillian butt-lift is that we can harvest (or liposuction out) fat from the areas where you don't want it (typically love-handles, tummy), and process it and implant it into the buttocks.
The butt-lift works in two ways
1) First, by removing fat from love-handles, tummy, hips, etc, it can make the buttock contours look better by comparison. Some patyients say it makes the butt "pop" visually.
2) We are taking the most stubborn fat out of you, the fat that doesn't respond well to exercise, and transplanting it into the butt to make it bigger. It reconnects with blood supply in the fat and muscle layers of your buttock and can permanently enhance the contours.
Of the fat we aspirate or remove, some of it is blood and some of it is fluid and oil. Those are typically discarded and only the purified fat is injected. I often find somewhere between 300cc -- 600cc per buttock is the right amount to inject.
