If a doctor takes 5 liters of fat for my BBL, will that mean 2500cc of fat will go in each butt cheek?

Question

I want a large volume BBL. I'm 5'6 and weigh 16.

Hello, thank you for your question. The amount of fat that you can transfer to your buttocks depends on how much fat you have to begin with. After liposuction, the fat that is obtained will be processed. The "good" fat can then be placed into the buttocks. With a lot of good fat, 1000 cc's of fat can possibly be injected depending on your body type. It is best to talk to a board certified plastic surgeon in person so that he/she can assess the areas and to be sure that this procedure will work best for you.

Dear kimmyxoxo18,
2500cc is a big amount of fat for transfer. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
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 :)

It’s highly unlikely any plastic surgeon would graft 5 L of fat to your buttocks.

That is an inappropriate amount of fat to graft.

And aggressive BBL typically hovers  at around 1200 mL of fat per side.

The most I’ve ever graft it was 1400 mL per side.

My average BBL is about 900 mL per side.

Patients who want more aggressive results should instead plan on having two rounds of that transfer.

Grafting excessive volumes leads to higher percentage of fat graft failure with increased fat necrosis and increased complication rates.

Best,
