BBL: How much fat is needed to see a difference and how much survives?

Thanks for your
question.  I think your first step would
be to schedule a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who has experience with
BBL surgery.  Based on what you have,
they will use most, if not, all of it for the BBL.  Keep in mind that some of the fat will resorb
after surgery (about 20-30%).  So, if you
do not have much fat, then your results will not be as significant. 

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.

I would need to see photos to answer your question.  In general, I would expect a minimum of 20% of fat volume loss.Best of Luck!  Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

My philosophy on that is to place as much fat as possible without causing fat necrosis or undue pressure.  I always anticipate that only 50% will survive, but frequently more does survive. Even on a thin patient, I can usually get an average of 800 cc of fat per buttock.
