I am 5'9", 150 lbs (female). I have too much fat around my abdomen and lower back (from pregnancies). I've seen awesome-looking "after" photos where 800-900 cc's were used per side in the BBL procedure, but wonder if this is too much and will actually "take". Does this need to be done over a course of time (or does that just add more $$)? Should I find a local board-cert plastic surgeon or travel to one that is "known" for his work in BBLs? What is the approx cost? I would appreciate any input!
Answer: Brazilian Buttlift Long Term Results
About 50% to 70% of the fat survives long term. 800 cc to 900 cc is not too much as you may end up with 500 cc to 600 cc. You will need at least this volume to get to your wish pic - probably more like 1100 or 1200 cc. Find a board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlift procedures each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Brazilian Buttlift Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

Answer: Avoiding loss of buttock fullness after Brazilian Buttock Lift
The most common complaint that I have heard from patients that come to me for revision buttock augmentation in los angeles has been that they lost much of thier buttock fullness or size after a few months. Personally, I have not seen this phenomena in any of my patients over the last 5 years. I believe it is because that I routinely inject at least 800 ccs of fat into each cheek and I use the micro-fat grafting technique with meticilous processing of the harvested fat.
Since most people only get one chance for buttock augmentation with fat grafting they need to make the best of it and search for a buttock augmentation specialist that consistently gets good long term results.

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift, is 800-900cc's Per Buttock a Reasonable Amount? How Much Will I Retain Long-term? (photo) Hello dear! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. To determine the amount of CC's to transfer, a in-person consultation is needed. Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, hips, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.After a BBL, only about 70% of the transferred fat cells will survive, so it is normal to see a minor reduction in your buttocks. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. The average cost varies a lot depending on the clinic, the country, city and the plastic surgeon. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know. Good luck :)

Answer: Brazilian Butt lift
The volume that can be injected is dependant on the volume that can be harvested. With meticulous prcessing and micrografting within the muscle you can expect around 75% to 80% of the fat to be RETAINED.
