I spoke with a Dr recently and he said he can extract 1000 cc's out of me. I was kind of confused what does Dr's usually mean by that when they give me this ball park figure.

This will give me better understanding of how much cc's of pure fat will be injected per cheek.

Brazillian Butt-Lift is a

The simple idea behind a Brazillian butt-lift is that we can harvest (or liposuction out) fat from the areas where you don't want it (typically love-handles, tummy), and process it and implant it into the buttocks. The butt-lift works in two ways 1) First, by removing fat from love-handles, tummy, hips, etc, it can make the buttock contours look better by comparison.  Some patyients say it makes the butt "pop" visually. 2) We are taking the most stubborn fat... more

Brazilian Butt Lift

Brazilian Butt lift is a big surgery. For you to come out of the consultation and not understand the basis of the surgery is not acceptable. The questions you ask are valid and only the surgeon who examine you. You need to have another consult with your plastic surgeon or see another plastic surgeon. All your questions should be answered before surgery.
