Is 435cc of Fat to Each Butt Cheek Enough to See a Difference?

I am 29 yrs. old, I stand 5'3, and i weigh 135lbs. I had a bbl 4 days ago. I was told by my doctor that I could take a shower, and that is when I first saw my body after the procedure. I love what I see as far as my contour, but im worried that my butt will still appear to be flat. I dont see any difference as far as protrusion from the side view, but it does look wider and fuller from the rear view. 435cc was added to each side and I wonder if I didn't have enough fat to have a bbl fr the start

Brazilian butt lift and fat transfer

Excellent question. This is why I always reinforce to my patients that the Brazilian butt lift is not only about increasing the projection of your buttock but also the shape. The best results are not necessarily the bigger results. Anybody can make a butt look bigger on the side view but not everybody can make your contour look curvy and proportionate. Your butt will shrink about 20% in the best hands so you can anticipate that your butt will be smaller than what it is now.... more

Brazilian Buttock lift

Transfer of 400 cc of purified fat to each buttock should make a siginifican difference in projection of the buttock if it was injected into the right place.

Is 435cc of Fat to Each Butt Cheek Enough ?

Brazilian Butt Lifting (BBL), or fat grafting to the buttocks, should NOT be an "all you can squeeze in" procedure. Instead, it should be a combination of Back Scoop Liposuction (removing excess fat of the lower back / hips to accentuate the origins of the buttock cheeks) AND augmentation and accentuation of the round domes of each cheek. The transfer of 435cc of LIVE concentrated (ie centrifuged) fat into each cheek would depend on the size of your present cheeks, the... more

Is 435cc of fat enough for the Brazilian Butt Lift?

Hi SexyLibra Everyone having the Brazilian Butt Lift is built differently and has a different volume of fat to work with. You definitely had enough fat to have the procedure done.....because you did. 435cc is a reasonable volume. That's about the same volume of a relatively large buttocks implant. The question is, was this enough to give you the results that you were hoping for. And, a second question is, how much of this fat volume will you retain.... more
