How many CC's should I expect to get for my Brazilian Butt Lift with Vaser Lipo? (Photo)

Question

I'm having a BBL procedure scheduled in January. I currently weight 106lbs and I'm 5'0". I carry most of my excess fat in my abdomen and flanks. I'm hoping to transfer about 400cc to each side. My surgeon says it's doable but that would likely be the max I could realistically harvest. Minimum would be 250cc. In order to maximize the amount of fat for transfer, I'm having Vaser lipo done of my abdomen, flanks, lower back, and upper back. Does this sound like a reasonable option for me? Thanks

Based upon the pictures you could have 800 cc per buttock but this has nothing to do with Vaser.  This is surgeon dependent.

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.
