How much fat is needed for BBL? 600 cc in each cheek for a total of 1200 cc. Is it true 2 to 2.5 liters are needed for good fat?

Thank you for your question.  You will need to have at least this amount liposuctioned to ensure you will have 1200 cc's for your buttocks.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Almost all of the fat can be used.  The result is really a function of how aggressively the surgeon will
liposuction and transfer. Most patients get an immense benefit with
maximal
liposuction of the
abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then
maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

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 :)

To have good results, as much fat as can be harvested is a good standard to follow. Anywhere from 600-1700cc per side can give the curves and slim figure that most patients desire. I recommend a face-to-face consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to figure out a plan for you.Thank you for your question and for sharing your pictures!Melinda Lacerna, MD FACS
