If I Get 1400 Ccs of Fat Transfered to my Butt How Much Will Absorb?

In general about 75% to 85% of the fat survives.  Every surgeon is different and has their own techniques.  In general, I prefer to centrifuge the fat to remove any fluid and purify the fat cells.  The highly concentrated fat is then immediately injected.  By concentrating the fat this way, more fat cells are able to be transferred into a given space which I feel enhances the result.

 

Good Luck.

I see about a 70% fat survival rate in my BBL patients. This depends on a variety of factors including the technique of the surgeon. It is important to chose a surgeon who does a minimum of 5 BBLs per week. I personally think that a fat survival rate less than 70% is not good. 

    In general, about 50% of the fat should live.  I think that some of my patients have up to 70 or 75% survive based upon evaluation of before and after photos for several hundred patients.  Hopefully, you are getting 1400 cc per buttock.  700 cc per buttock is a small amount but is appropriate for patients not expecting a significant change.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
