Patients store their fat differently, and while I believe that the trunk area (abdomen, waist, flanks, back, bra area) provides the most amount of fat on most patients, I also see great success with liposuction of the thighs.

Fat transfer to the buttocks

Thank you for your question. Typically you will need approximately 750 mL of fat into each buttocks. Fat is removed from any area where there is excessive fat.

I typically perform liposuction in the abdomen flanks, arms, upper and lower back. see video

Definitely make sure any surgeon you see is a Board Certified surgeon. I usually remove fat from abdomen, flanks, and back. see video

I'm worried I don't have enough fat because I'm 5' 9" and 150 lbs, but I don't look fat, is there like some kind of pinch test, or can I go to the gym and they'll tell me what percent of body fat I have. Is there a good percent of body fat to have before going a bbl?
