I was speaking with a surgeon earlier today about getting the Brazilian butt lift. He something along the lines of 500cc's is the most one can inject and anything over 500cc's would not last. Is there a maximum amount of fat that one can inject?

Volume of fat transferred during a brazilian buttock lift

There is no maximum amount of fat that can be transferred into a buttock. It has more to do with the amount of fat harvested and the quality of the skin/tissue in the buttock area that will be the donor site.  This amount can range anywhere from 300 cc to 1000cc, possibly more. An experienced board certified plastic surgeon can estimate how many cc's of fat you may have or need transferred. Best wishes, Dr. Bruno

How much fat can be injected into a butt?

A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that can improve the contour of your butt and beautifully increase its size. This procedure consists of aggressive liposuction of the abdomen, hips, waist, flanks, thighs, and lower back. This collected fat is then processed and strategically grafted to the gluteal region. There is no set amount of fat that can be injected into a butt. In our practice, we work closely with the patients to deeply understand their aesthetic goals and... more

Fat amount for Brazilian Butt Lift

Jasmine, There really is not a maximum amount of fat that can be injected into the buttocks. Basically, the amount injected depends on the 4 factors. 1) the amount of fat harvested, 2) the amount of good fat after processing, 3) the volume of the your buttocks, and 4) the amount of buttock augmentation requested. One size does not fit all when it comes to Brazilian butt lift. I hope you saw a Plastic surgeon. To ensure your safety, make sure you consult with a board certified Plastic... more

Maximum amount of fat injected into buttocks

I have not heard about a maximum or limit on the amount of fat injected into the buttock but I have heard one national speaker state, that in his experience, the incidence of complications increase as the volume injected exceeds 850 cc. This is an anecdotal report and it is difficult to confirm an exact number. Certainly, the potential for greater necrosis increases as the volume injected increases but other factors such as techniques of harvesting, processing and injecting can also... more

Maximum amount of fat for Brazilian Butt Lift? Not really.

There is no true "maximum" amount of fat that can be injected into the buttocks.  There is a limit regarding how much can be harvested, then there is the idea that you must thread the fat in layers into the buttocks so the fat strands are adjacent to healthy tissue.  If you start with a smaller stature, then there will be less fat to harvest and less room in the buttocks for the fat.  The converse is also true.

There is no maximum fat volume for injection!!

I routinely inject at least 1200 cc of fat for buttock augmentation. therefore, there is no maximum volume. But, the maximum volume depends on how much fat can be harvested from a patient and how much volume the buttock muscle can accomodate.
