Is 600cc enough for each butt cheek ? (photos)

You may need double that amount to get close to the goal picture. Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Thanks for the question.In this regard, I'm totally agree with you, therefore i recommend you a Full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

There is no way of telling how much went into the ideal picture. There is no before so you can't tell what that particular patient looked like prior to surgery. 600-1200cc per side are average amounts. If you don't feel like 600 would be sufficient, get a second opinion with another board certified plastic surgeon and address your concerns. Remember that it's also important to keep your expectations realistic.Thank you for your question and for sharing your pictures!Melinda Lacerna, MD FACS

Thanks for your question.In medicine you can not talk about exact numbers, but approximate. If you want a volume like the photo, you would need much more cc, but also would need a good liposuction entire back, waist, and a tummy tuck, this way you will be beautiful and similar to the photo.Regards! 

Hi and thanks for the question and photos. 600cc per side does not appear to be enough to achieve the look that you are looking for. I would encourage at least 800-1,000cc per side. Best of Luck - Dr Hardy
