Is 500cc in each buttocks enough? (Photo)

Hi, it depends on the results you're looking for and even though you describe them it is difficult to tell you what 500 cc's of fat will do. You are going to lose a certain percentage of fat. It may differ in different individuals but you will not keep 500 cc's of fat. Now your fat content is reduced to 3 or 4 hundred cc's. Small amounts of fat make smaller differences. Florida has put in place regulations on BBL's due to an excessive number of poor quality results and sometimes very dangerous or worse results.
Additionally, some people may compare having surgery out of their home state to that of buying a car in another state. It is best to choose a local dealer and repair shop right down the road with a person you have a relationship with since you are spending a great deal of money and they are happy to help you if you should have some small things that need to be looked at when you take ownership of the car. If you bought your car out of state, say Florida and you live in the Northeast, you would call your Florida car dealer and tell him the problem. He would say well I'd be happy to help you if you want to drive the car down to Florida otherwise you need to find someone where you live. I don't know if you would be happy having to find someone else after you trusted the person that sold you the car and now they're not there when you need them. Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question!

Fat transfer is a great and natural way to augment the shape, volume and contour of many sites including the buttocks. Fat is a living cell and after the transfer process it must go through a healing period where not 100% of the fat transferred will "take". This is normal and expected but can also be a source of need for a second round/"touch up" fat grafting. That said, when we perform BBL surgery it is "not only what you add, but also what you take away." With the proper technique, even just liposuction of the flanks and lower back will give some effect of a BBL because it cinches the waist, defines the upper border of the gluteus and creates a better shape. With that and adding 500cc to each side, in my opinion, this will be "enough" to create a very noticeable and natural improvement in almost all patients, as long as expectations aren't for "the biggest backside in the world". Good luck on your journey!
