For your height and weight, you may get between 3000 to 3500cc of fat and solution from all those areas. But not all the harvested volume can be injected in the buttocks. The fat needs to be seprated from the other fluids, and at the end you may have about 2000cc of fat that can be used for the BBL, the limitation is how many cc's your buttocks can have. When the fat is injected, the tissues on the buttocks get tighter and there is a point where there is no more free space for fat grafting, also when there is too much tension on the tissues the blood supply to the area will be decreased and that means less blood supply to the injected fat, that will have less chances of survival. At the end, it is the surgeon who will consider how much fat can be injected in the buttocks, to give you the most of the volume, without compromise of the fat survival. The cost for the procedure it is very variable, it depends on where you are having the procedure, the experience of the surgeon, facilities, etc. You should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

You are a very good candidate for the Brazilian buttlift. You will need a
 5 liter liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back.  I could transfer up to 1500 cc of fat or so per buttock.  You must realize that you will receive extremely different answers on this, because liposuction and BBL are extremely surgeon and effort dependent.  Find an 
expert in BBLs with great reviews and
great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Dear Veronica271988, you could have more than what you actually need to transfer. You have enough fat to remove from your abdomen, flanks, lower and upper back. The liposuction is going to improve your body shape and the definition on your lower back. The estimated amount to be able to suction from the pics you posted seems to be around 4-5 liters and you could have transfer between 500-600 on each side. In order to be able to have an estimate you should contact directly the plastic surgeon of your preference and ask for it.   Best of wishes.

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 right amount of CC's to transfer in a BBL, an in-person consultation is in order, because it depends on a number of factors.
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.
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.
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 :)

Hello, thank you for your question and the pics. You have a wonderful body for contouring, as you have about enough fat for around a 5 L liposuction, this will help you get a slimmer, curvy waistline, get rid of the fat rolls in your back and add a better contour to your abdominal area, all this , adding that you have wonderful round hips, will get you a wonderful hourglass shape. This would give in for about a 600 cc transfer depending on the envelope. If you're willing to travel, price is US$4000 including pre op lab tests, cardiologist consultation, all hospital expenses, post op medication 10 day stay one compression garment, and up to ten sessions of post op massages. Hope to have been of some help, good luck

Thank you for your question.Based on your pictures , I believe you can get around 500 cc of fat in each one .

Many surgeons offer online virtual
  consultations where you send your photos and medical history information so
  that you can receive accurate cost at no cost to you.

Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton
  of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local
  university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by
  fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose
  one wisely.
