Brazilian Butt Lift - A Question Of Proportions

Hi, I am overweight (5'9" weigh 225 lbs) and carry most my weight in the mid-abdominal section. My measurements are 43" on the butt 43" on my waist. I want to undergo the procedure. At my original consultation the doctor advised he could extract a maximum of 2.5 Litres of fat. I really hope he can do more. Will all the fat that is extracted be injected back into my buttocks? If so, how much volume (inches) can I expect to gain in my butt and how much can I expect to lose on my waist?

Brazilian Butt Lift.......Proportions

Hey Curious In Toronto! Yes, it is all a matter of proportions. Having a measurement of 43 both of your waist and your hips means you are pretty straight. Removing fat around your waistline (not just your abdomen) will significantly reduce this number, maybe even to 36 or 38. The largest reduction I have seen in one of my patients from liposuction of the waistline alone was 8 inches. Not that everyone can lose that many inches, but it can make a huge... more

You are right " It is a matter of proportions". You may be able to take out 2.5 liters from the abdomen. Not all that is pure fat, there is a lot of fluid and dead cells. The fluid need to be removed, fat washed and the pure fat transfered. The other issue is onece you remove 2.5 liters from the abdomen, what will happen to the skin of the abdomen? The shaping of the buttock include removing excess fat around the buttock to shape the buttocks. Removal of fat of the lower... more

Thank you doctors for your time and helpful answers. It turns out that now that I really had committed and decided to to go ahead with the procedure the plastic surgeon says the fat in my abdominal section, although voluminous, cannot be liposuctioned as it is deep in the mid section and basically wrapped around my internal organs. I was therefore recommended that I use implants. I don't want implants because of all the complications associated with those, yet a man of science tells me there is no other option. I am shocked to learn that in the 21st Century there are only two ways to achieve these type of results. I am no scientist. I am a simple layman who would like to enhance certain features. Having said that, has anyone ever thought of introducing a small syringe in the love handles to extract a minimal amount of fat, and so long as you get one fat cell that survives the extraction you should be able to clone that cell and make a soup out of it. You should be able to get as many cells as you want, and you should also be able to modify the cells genetically so that they are able to grow blood supplies quicker, thereby cutting down the recovery time to a matter of days, or hours, as oppossed to weeks. Scientists can clone a cow these days, why are fat cells such mystery? Honestly, just for giving you a solution to this problem I should get my procedure done for free. Yet I just want it done regardless. Please help.
