Hello doctors! I'm thinking of doing fat transfer for breast (with lift) and BBL. I'm not sure if I have enough fats to do that. I don't want to get too big just want to add one or two more cups. For BBL I'm still undecided because I've heard and read some things about it and that's why I'm hesitant. Also I have keloids. I know the importance of in-person consultation but with what's happening now, I'd have to do that sometime. Virtual consultation is still different than having it in person.

Answer: Do I have enough fat for a BBL and do I need to consider keloids when making my decision? (Photos) Breast fat transfer is a great tool to balance breasts, improve symmetry, and gain up to one cup size in volume. In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. I place one incision under each breast and the fat can be injected to the locations specified by the patient. The BBL scars are small, but some surgeons will make many more incisions and in less discrete locations.

Answer: BBL candidate Dear Cari9228, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
