If 3500cc of fat has been taken out from lipo, how much of that fat can be used for BBL?

Question

Can all of the 3500 be used?

Emmanuel De La Cruz, MD · Answer

Hello lildoethe2,
The volume of fat that can be safely injected into the buttock varies from patient to patient, and it will depend on the patient's anatomy, as well as his/her cosmetic goals. Make sure to discuss your expectations with your plastic surgeon before surgery and correct any misconceptions you may have about the procedure and its outcomes. Your surgery will be easier to plan if you and your doctor can discuss your desired results in more detail. With appreciation, Dr. De La Cruz.

The amount of the fat aspirate that can actually be used as fat to transfer to the buttocks can vary based on the technique of fat retrieval. Regular lipo translates into 30% of fat volume available, but VASER lipo allows for use of 60 % of fat available for transfer. A consultation with a VASER specialist will help you appreciate how much can be removed and be available for transfer.
