I’m 5ft 2 & 120lbs. Though I’m considered “petite” I carry my weight in the middle. I’m removing my breast implants soon (no replacement) & know this will add to my Apple figure. Ideally I would like to have 360 lipo along with my arms, neck, & (if possible) have fat transfer for BBL. My question is, do I have enough for transfer? If not, can the lipo on its own be enough to help achieve a more pear shape? TIA:)

Answer: Do you have enough fat for a BBL? Ideal candidates are at a stable weight, in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions. Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells. Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Answer: Do You Have ENOUGH Fat for a BBL? Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist. The amount of fat that you need for a BBL really depends on your goals. Why? Because different goals need different amounts of fat. For example, I will frequently (usually weekly) perform a BBL on Mom that works out a significant amount but still can’t get that last stubborn tummy and flank fat. She is also unhappy her hips, waist, and the indents on the side of the butt. She doesn’t want a BIG Butt with a lot of POP. In this case, I will get more then enough fat to fill in the frame, rounding out the waist/butt/hips and improving the hourglass shape. The total fat I need for this procedure is somewhere around 320cc-720cc and this can be pretty easy to find high quality fat in that amount from the stubborn fat areas. Now on the opposite end of the spectrum, if you wanted a big full butt with a lot of POP then you would require a significant amount of fat, at least 1400cc total. And then we would need a lot of fat to take in order to process and be left with high quality injectable fat. So what does that mean? Well depending on your goals you either need a small amount of fat (and almost all patients are candidates for that) or you need a significant amount of fat if you want a BIG butt (And then in order to a candidate you need a decent amount of fat to perform liposuction on). Do you have other options beyond fat? Yes, there are butt implants and medical grade fillers. And therefore, just about every patient is candidate for some form of torso sculpting/butt augmentation! I hope that helps! Best of Luck! Matthew J. Nykiel, MD#TopREALSELFDoctor#CoreREALSELFDoctorButt Augmentation SpecialistLiposuction SpecialistBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
