Brazilian butt lift involved remove fat from the body and injecting the fat back into the desired gluteal area. Some patients may be better candidate for this procedure than other patients. Some patients may have more fat to inject than others. What is important is the liposuctioning as well as the injecting of the fat. Contouring the gluteal area with liposuction is just as important as the amount of fat that is injected. So you may still get a nice result even if you think you may not have enough fat. Gluteal augmentation with implants leads to a high complication rate, especially with the implants that are currently available in the U.S. If you have not yet seen a board certified plastic surgeon, I would recommend that and have them exam you to see what kind of result you can achieve. Good luck.
First I would recommend that you seek a consultation by aplastic surgeon that commonly performs this procedure so that they can give youyour options. The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs ofeach individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need tobe placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typicallyreceive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fattransfer. However just like a breastaugmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patients. Also the sculpting done with the liposuction isa big part of the procedure to improve the overall shape. Unfortunately fat cannot be taken from someone else and usedfor augmentation. However if a patienthas a BMI of 22 they typically will have enough fat for the Brazilian buttlift. If they are smaller than this thenthey will need to consider doing an augmentation with implants. Buttock implants can give patients a verynice result. Commonly buttock implantsare combined with some fat transfer depending on the needs of the individualperson. When considering this procedure it is very important thatyou have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. In general of the procedures that I perform this is onewhere patients tend to be universally extremely happy.
Thank you for your question. What I suggest is have in person consultation board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible. This procedure depends on the amount of fat the patient has to transfer.
Thank you for your question! I suggest you see a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your desired results with him. Gaining weight before your surgery is a good idea to have enough of fat for your desired results. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board CertifiedPlastic SurgeonChicago Hoffman Estates Oak Brook
It’s not unusual for patients to be concerned about how muchfat can be transferred when they undergo a brazilian butt lift.Without adequate pictures or a physicalexamination it’s virtually impossible to estimate how much fat can betransferred in any particular patient.Your history suggest that inadequate donor sites may represent asignificant problem if your goal is a substantial buttock enlargement.Thelack of donor sites may also be compounded by the inability to contour thesurrounding structures.Liposuction ofadjacent areas significantly contributes to the aesthetic result in mostpatients undergoing this procedure.Underthese circumstances, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon whohas experience performing brazilian butt lift surgery is essential.This surgeon can help develop a realistictreatment plan that not only considers your aesthetic goals, but your anatomicfindings as well.In some cases, thebrazilian butt lift won’t represent a viable option.Under these circumstances gluteal implantsmay represent an alternative.
