How Much fat is needed for Brazilian Butt Lift?
Hi there-
The amount of fat necessary will depend to a large extent on your goals for the appearance of your buttock and hip area, as well as the character of your skin and existing soft tissues, and the availability of fat.
Because you should expect some amount of the grafted fat to be reabsorbed after surgery (usually within the first month), more fat than is needed to achieve your goals is usually placed at surgery.
We do a great many of these procedures in my Orlando practice, and have...

How much fat for Brazilian Butt Lift?
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.

Amount of Fat Needed for Brazilian Butt Lift

Fat needed for Brazilian butt lift
In general, I like to place at least 200 cc's of fat in each cheek for an adequate augmentation and lift. This , of course , depends on the size of the patient and the overall goals of the individual.
All the best,

Amt of fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift depends on your goals!
Thank you for the question. This is the issue that I spend most amount of time talking to my patients who are considering a Brazilian Butt lift. During the surgery, the patient will receive liposuction to the abdomen hips waist trunk back and thighs. This tissue will then be cleaned and processed. This will then be added to the gluteal region strategically. Whenever we move fat from one part of the body to the other, we can expect 20 to 30% of the fat melt away. For this reason it is...

Fat needed for Brazilian butt lift
The amount of fat injected per buttocks cheek depends on how much larger you would like your buttocks to be. Some people just want a little shape, others want a large increase in size. Many times, the biggest determining factor is how much fat you have to donate to your buttocks. The best way to proceed is to have a concultation with a surgeon experienced in this procedure.
