Average Amount of Transferrable Fat in Brazilian Butt Lift?

I am planning to have the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. I am about 30 lbs. overweight but I am proportionate. I am getting conflicting answers about how much fat can be injected into the buttocks to create a rounder, fuller behind.

I was told that only 700-800cc's of fat could be transferred into each butt cheek. Is this true? I cannot imagine that only 700-800cc of fat would make that much of a difference or be worth the cost to get that little benefit.Is it possible to obtain a J-Lo type booty by having the Brazilian Butt Lift?

How much fat can you transfer with a brazilian buttock lift.

Thanks for the question - There are limits to the amount of fat that can be placed in each buttock at any one time.

Most experienced surgeons agree that transfers beyond 800-1000 cc of fat risk a significantly higher rate of fat death. To achieve larger proportions you may need a series of surgeries.

Amount of fat transferred to butt depends on your personal goals.

Great question! A successful Brazilian Butt lift begins with the initial consultation. During this consultation, is crucial that you review your personal goals with your plastic surgeon. Give your surgeon a very good idea of the look, size, and contour that you are trying to achieve.
