Brazilian buttock enahncement may need more sessions

You have to remember that the fat is purified and has to be put in layers of small amount for a good take of the fat. Putting all the fat in your buttock causes the fat not to take and you will benefit less. You can plan more than one session of fat grafting to the buttocks and this way it is safer and the fat has a better chance of staying in.

There is no known limit of how much fat can be transferred

In my opinion, it is more of an issue of proportion. Waist to hip and hip to thigh proportion. If your frame is wider, then adding a small amount of fat is kind of a drop in a bucket. If you are small framed, then adding that same small amount of fat can make a huge difference. I have done several hundred Brazilian Butt Lift procedures. Some women want to be as large as possible, others just want a little enlargement or shaping. Either way, this procedure can provide beautiful results!... more

You need a lot of fat transfered to your buttock in order to get a great result

I have had much experience in fat grafting to the buttocks for Brazillian Buttock Augmentation in Los Angeles. I have had patients from 105 lbs to more than 200 lbs. the best results were in those that had much fat available for harvesting. In my experience depending on the technique of harvesting, processing, and injecting the fat, at least 90% of the volume can stay. I have had several patients who have retained more than 90% of their buttock volume despite having had pregnacies, working... more

Brazilian butt lift

Fat is injected throughout the buttocks evenly to create a round curvy shape. We are able to take fat from any area on the body where needed to improve your appearance and shape. The most fat we are allowed to inject is 400cc in each side. Remember when shaping and removing fat in the abdominal and waist area this will minimize the appearance of your waist and accentuate the appearance of your butt.

Amount of fat to be transferred for Brazilian Butt Lift

Generally, some surgeons feel that the rate of problems is higher when you exceed 850cc. However, this is more of an anecdotal report and an arbitrary limit that has not been scientifically validated.

Amount of fat transfer to the buttocks

The amount of fat transfer to the butt depends on the amount of tissue that is removed with a liposuction and how much is left over after this tissue is cleaned and processed.

This fat must be injected in very small droplets so that the body has a chance to incorporate this new fat with the existing tissue.

Volume Limits of Brazillian Butt Lift

The purpose of a Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat grafting to the buttocks) is NOT the shifting of all the body fat from all the body's areas to the buttocks but the shaping and volume restoration to IDEAL SHAPE, SIZE and PROPORTION of the buttocks. By limiting yourself to "I want a big butt ", I think you may be missing this point.

Fat grafting to Butt in multile sessions

Multiple sessions for large volume transfers are required to do this safely and to maximize volume enhancement. Fat take is based upon you body's ability to bring blood to fat to preserve its viability. Also equally important is proportion; and your BMI is already on the higher side. I would speak with your plastic surgeon to ensure both partners are on the same page as it relates to expectations.

Fat transfer buttock augmentation

In general there is not a said limit on the amount of fat that can be transferred into the buttock. However like most things in plastic surgery, two things in particular deserve attention here.

In my experience, the limitation has been the buttock tissue elasticity and the amount of fat that is harvested. Usually I will liposuction all the necessary areas but you can only get some much good, usebale fat. I have performed higher fat transfers of about 400 to 500 cc per side in some situations when the buttcok tissue can accomodate the expansion and when there was enough fat to harvest.
