I am considering getting 600 cc for brazillian butt lift. I went to two plastic surgeons. One said he will do it and the other said he will not because there will be hardly any improvement. But it's something I really want to do. Do you think it is worth it? Thank you.

Do I have enough fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Hi there- Without examining you myself, it is very difficult to answer this question for you definitively, but I do have a few thoughts (having successfully performed a great many of these procedures myself) that hopefully will help you. Most importantly, you should realize that the goal of a BBL is to establish new proportions between your thighs, back, abdomen, waist, and buttocks, NOT to simply make the buttocks larger. It is the combination of a reduction on the prominence of these... more

Brazillian Butt Lift for a thin patient

You appear to be very thin. Without the ability to narrow your waist and greatly define your hips with liposuction MORE of the result would depend on accentuating your buttocks. While 600cc per cheek would make a significant difference, I do NOT think that 300cc per cheek would translate into much of a difference to justify doing this procedure. Hope this helped. Dr. P.

600 cc can make a big difference in a Brazilian Butt Lift!

Thanks for the great question for posting a picture. In your case, adding 600 mL would make a very nice change. The most important aspect in a Brazilian Butt lift is the experience of the surgeon and the techniques they use. Before your surgery, it is essential to have a long consultation with your plastic surgeon and describe your concerns and your aesthetic goals. In our practice, we use digital morphing software to transform the pictures of the patients so that they can get... more

How Much Fat Necessary for a Brazilian Butt Lift

As you have read, a significant factor in reshaping the buttocks with a Brazilian butt lift is secondary to the liposuction of the abdomen, hips, flanks, and thighs. Liposuctioning the areas around the buttocks gives the illusion of a more shapely, projecting buttocks, even if no fat is injected into the buttocks. However, the other significant factor in a Brazilian butt lift is injection of the harvested fat into the buttocks to increase projection and improve the shape even... more

600cc for buttock augmentation

That would assume 300cc per side. When doing a buttock augmetation (which I don't) the implants average about 300cc and they make quite a difference so it certainly would be enough but if the technique/circumstances are such that you get all six hundred in but they don't survive . . . then you may be looking at a slightly inadequate amount. Nonetheless, I'm judging based on a very angled photograph that is not scientific at all so you're best off listening to your... more

A little addition can make a BIG difference in Brazilian Butt Lift

Hey Mellymel Yes, if you are injecting 600cc of fat per buttocks, that will make a significant increase in size of your buttocks, providing a reasonable amount of this fat survives. This is because you have a relatively small frame to begin with. Of course to get 600cc per side, we usually need to harvest about 2-2.5 liters of fat from somewhere. If you have this volume to donate to your buttocks, especially if it is in your waist or flank areas, you should get a beautiful result. If on the... more

You do not have enough fat to inject 600 c.c per site

Brazilian Butt lift is combination of fat injection and liposuction to enhance buttocks. From the pictures that tou included, it will be hard to get 1200 c.c fat without causing deformity to the donor sites. You can get impovements ,but the key factor is the amount of the fat available and also your body shape.

How much fat is needed to make a difference

Thanks for your question 600 cc of fat is typically a significant change. There are limits to the amount of fat you can transfer both in terms of fat survival as well as (especially in your case) ability to harvest enough fat. In addition, for patients that are relatively thin, the improvement from liposuction itself (a significant part of the difference in contour) tends to be less. I hope this helps.

Brazilian Butt Lift

If it is 600 cc per side then yes that is a signifcant change. However, judging by your body, I doubt that you would have enough fat to inject 600 per side, so I am assuming 300 cc per side is what we are talking about. That is not a significant change over time.
