Will 400-500 Cc's of Fat Transfer to my Butt Be Enough for my Bbl? (photo)

Question

I'm scheduled for bbl but my surgeon estimates he could only transfer 400-500 cc's to each cheek since I had a TT last year and don't have as much fat in my abdomen. He will lipo abdomen, lower and upper back, inner and outter thighs. Will 400-500 cc's show a GOOD difference? Considering I am 5'1 and 152 lbs, shouldn't he be able to lipo more? Should I gain weight?

Daryl K. Hoffman, MD · Answer

From your photos it looks like you have more available fat than 400-500cc's.  At 5'2" and 152 lbs I would estimate you could have a couple liters of fat to transfer, possibly more than can be used at one time.  Sometimes more than one treatment can be done for maximal difference in which case I don't use all the harvest sites on the first procedure.  I don't believe that 400-500cc to each cheek will make a very big difference given the current size of your buttocks. I don't recommend gaining weight.  It looks like you have enough fat.

Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to the buttock) is so
popular because it enables your plastic surgeon to transform your entire
shape.  Liposuction is performed over
several areas depending on the individual patient needs, but typically of the
flanks, abdomen, back and thighs.  You
currently have a very square shape (which is more common than most people
realize).

The liposculpting will allow your surgeon to bring in your
hips and waist giving you more of an hour glass figure.  You already have some shape to your buttock
and this will be able to be enhanced to give you a very attractive
buttock.  From the pictures you look like
you have very good skin which will give you a great result from the
liposcultping.

The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs of
each individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need to
be placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typically
receive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fat
transfer.  However just like a breast
augmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patient.  In your particular case I would put at least
800cc/per side for you.

The process of the Brazilian Butt lift is not only to add
volume to the buttock but to transform the entire shape of the patient from a
square appearance to more of an hour glass shape.  It is about giving a patient a figure that
she will look great in close or a bikini (for the patients here in Miami).  The goal is not to just try and make the
biggest butt possible.  It is giving the
patient a shape they will love for years to come!

When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Looking at your photos, a good BBL surgeon should be able to get a good amount of fat. There is donor fat is areas otehr than your abdomen. You should be able to get 750 per side. Obviously this is impossible to say for sure without seeing you in person.

Sean Younai, MD, FACS · Answer

To get a perky, round, and full buttocks I recommend at least 600-900 ccs of fat injection into EACH buttock cheek. Obvioulsy, this depends on available fat, therefore, it is important to do large volume liposuction.
