What is the Max Amount of Fat That Can Be Removed/Transferred?

Is there a maximum amount of fat that can be removed during liposuction, and a maximum that can be redeposited safely? I have little to no booty...and I am looking to have more curves and a bigger rounded bottom...but I want to be realistic in what I expect.

Maximum amount of fat removed and transferred for a brazilian buttlift

Thank you for your question. While there is no "maximum" amount of fat that can be removed, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons DOES NOT RECOMMEND any amount of "aspirate" greater than 5,000cc be removed from any one person during a single outpatient liposuction procedure. Aspirate is a combination of fat, blood and tumescent fluid. This recommendation is for the health and safety of the patient and should not be (in my opinion) taken lightly.

Is there a maximum amount of fat that can be removed and transferred?

When dealing with liposuction as well as fat transfer safety is always the first consideration. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons does not recommend removing more than 5 liters of fat as an oupatient. I would very strongly abide by that suggestion.

Brazilian Butt Lift

The maximum volume of pure fat that can be removed is 5000cc. The maximum amount of fat transferred to the Buttocks can be determined by physical exam, the quality of skin and how much the buttock can accomodate an increase in volume and pressure and not compromize the circulation to the buttocks. The range is 800-1200 per buttock. to harvest that amount of fat takes time to prepare and purify for injection to assure the best chance for all that fat to take.
