The nurse told me they were only able to take 1800 cc and only injected 450cc per cheek. Is this the average amount that is used. 900cc of pure fat? My surgeon told me I didn't have a lot of fat to harvest and I said it's ok because I didn't expect to end up with a huge butt and I didn't want a huge butt. I'm worried he took that to the extreme and was too conservative with the injections. I usually see this small amount used with very thin girls.

Sorry to hear your experiencing a bump in the road. Your wound looks very small and the drainage looks like necrotic fat, not infection. Hang in there. It will stop draining soon and close up on its own. In my experience there is very little if any difference from the loss. Your being treated ...
Look for a different primary care doctor under your insurance or sometimes in young patients like yourself, your OBGYN may be willing to since he/she is likely the only doctor that you see on a regular basis if you are healthy.
Thanks for the great question! Things should start to soften up around 2-4 weeks and will continue to get softer after that. The transferred cells tend to cause a lot of inflammation and swelling right after surgery. Hang in there, it will get soft! Congratulations on your surgery! ~Dr. Sieber
