Brazilian Butt Lift, is 800-900cc's Per Buttock a Reasonable Amount? How Much Will I Retain Long-term? (photo)

I am 5'9", 150 lbs (female). I have too much fat around my abdomen and lower back (from pregnancies). I've seen awesome-looking "after" photos where 800-900 cc's were used per side in the BBL procedure, but wonder if this is too much and will actually "take". Does this need to be done over a course of time (or does that just add more $$)? Should I find a local board-cert plastic surgeon or travel to one that is "known" for his work in BBLs? What is the approx cost? I would appreciate any input!

Brazilian Buttlift Long Term Results

You will need at least this volume to get to your wish pic - probably more like 1100 or 1200 cc.

The volume that can be injected is dependant on the volume that can be harvested. With meticulous prcessing and micrografting within the muscle you can expect around 75% to 80% of the fat to be RETAINED.

Optimal Brazilian Butt Lift Results

I see a lot of Brazilian Butt Lift patients in Denver. My average injection is 600-900 cc per side depending on how much fat is available for harvest. Important factors for success are gentle techniques of fat harvest, processing the fat and careful micro-injection techniques. Even with the best techniques, on average 15-25 % of the fat will not take will be absorbed by the body. That is why I "over correct", anticipating some fat resorption. I would be suspicious of claims... more
