I am a slim pre-op transgendered male considering the Brazilian Butt Lift. How much fat should be on my body for this procedure?

Thanks for your question -

In our San Francisco office we perform this procedure regularly.  An evaluation of your current shape and goals should be discussed.

We typically place between 300 and 600 cc of fat into each buttocks.  A portion of this fat does not survive (usually less than 25%).  We typically need to be able to liposuction at least 2 liters.  Most people who are around a normal weight have plenty of fat we can use.

I hope this helps.
