Will having thick skin on my butt affect the amount of ccs I'm able to have transferred?

1. Will having thick skin on my butt affect the amount of cc’s I’m able to have transferred?Without seeing you for an examination, it is hard to tell. Is the thick skin from scarring? This may often limit the skins capability to stretch. If you are able to grab or pinch loose skin, this will allow more fat and volume to be added. If the skin is tight, it may cause limitations in the amount of fat that is able to be transferred. I would recommend seeing a local, qualified and board certified plastic surgeon to fully assess your situation and provide a treatment plan that is right for you.

I appreciate
your question.

I have done
many Brazilian Butt lift procedures and specialize in body contouring.
The amount of enhancement possible depends on how much fat can be
harvested from your body.

The best way
to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a
board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative
plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

There are certain limiting anatomic factors, but the surgical technique is usually the limiting factor.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

The thickness of the skin of the bud is rarely an issue when it comes to a BBL.Most people have relatively thin skin over the buttocks.just thickest skin on the body is on the upper back.This thinnest skin tends to be on the eyelids.The difference can be between one and 11 mm or one 16th of an inch to one half of an inch.The skin on the but tends to be about 3 mm thick.Some people have firm bottoms with a lot of connective fibers.These are fibers that hold the skin to The underlying muscle structures.This gives the buttocks firmness which helps hold our weight when we sit.People who have a lot of tight connectoive fibers throughout the fatty layers of their buttox  can sometimes have more of a limitation of how much fat can be grafted. People with loose floppy bottoms can usually tolerate substantially more fat.The most, limitation for how much fat can be grafted is the amount of fat available.This is generally only the case with very slim people. The actual skin itself should not be an issue.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Dear Ms. MomReady4myoldbody,Thank you for your story and questions .Unfortunately without a examination I can advise you in general terms, however I hope you will find them helpful.The amount of fat injected depends on:1) the amount of fat harvested2) the amount of suitable fat that is abel to be purified3) the "stretchability" of your buttock skin. One can try to gain weight prior to the procedure in hope that the areas you gain weight can be liposuctioned. Caveat: not all weight gain can not be harvested (some may be deposited on your internal organs or areas that can't be liposuctioned).Please make several appointments with experienced Plastic Surgeons who listens to your specific desires and who are not only Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery but in addition ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes, Dr. R.
