How Much Fat Needed to See Brazilian Butt Lift Results?

Hi there-
There is no firm answer to the question of whether or not your abdomen should be harvested, but in my practice, I generally follow the rule that the more fat I can get, the better.
I have come to believe this after a lot of experience doing Brazilian Butt Lifts, because (as is commonly understood) some of the fat grafted will be re-absorbed- therefore the more that is placed, the better. Also, the appearance of the buttocks is never judged (whether by you or admirers of your new bottom) in isolation, but rather within the context of the surrounding structures... improving the appearance of your abdomen would enhance the buttock outcome, and vice versa.
I almost never do this operation without harvesting the abdomen, waist, hips, and often the thighs as well, in order to maximally improve the overall shape of the buttocks, as well as the world they live in, if you will.
I hope that helps you- let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks for your question.

You seem to be a good candidate for the BBL judging from your pictures. Our BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. I recommend you seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in performing BBL procedures and clean credentials.

Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. It depends on how big you want your results to me. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board
certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible
treatment options and what your expectations are.
