Expert doc said I have ~ 400 cc of body fat, ~ 200 cc fat per cheek, adding 70% to mid-buttocks and 30% laterally. I want a full rounded hourglass shape. Is it worth spending $15-17k to see a difference since there's also 25% loss of fat the first 3 months? Also recommended no weight gain and sculptra 1 yr after. Should I do another combo of procedures - i.e. Lipo + sculptra (skip BBL)? I'm 5' 3", 118 lbs. Athletic. No arched back - spine lined up with pelvic bone, and ribcage = hip width.

Answer: Is 200cc of fat in each butt cheek enough to make a difference? Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these limited view photos, the sculpting part of the body is as or more important in your case than the amount of fat injected into the buttocks. Your BMI is 20.9, so you have limited fat to be transplanted. If you were my patient, I would use VASER Hi Def lipo to sculpt your whole back, waist, hips, abdomen, anterior and lateral chest wall and lateral thighs. This will give approximately 500cc/side(based on experience with low BMI patients).See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Is 200 cc of fat in each butt cheek enough to make a difference? (Photo) I have liposuctioned models and thinner patients with good results, but an exam would provide a better way to evaluate you for the procedure. The thinner patient requires an expert at liposuction to remove as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth. You may notice the enhancement you are seeking with 200cc fat SURVIVAL in each buttock if the liposuction creates more contours to give the illusion that your buttocks are larger. You and your PS will have to determine whether the fat harvest and transfer will provide a significant improvement.Find a board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE (education, training, experience, favorable patient reviews) credentials who performs hundreds of BBLs each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results you are seeking.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
