How many pound of fat are needed for 1000cc of injectable fat?

​Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Kind Regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

In plastic surgery, when dealing with fat and other type of grafts, we routinely use volume measurements which is ml or cc. In order to get answer to your question, you should do some mathematics and, based on specific weight of fat tissue, calculate how much pounds or grams weights 1000 ml of fat. Plastic surgeons are not always good mathematicians but Google may be? Good luck.

Dear Luxxor,
It is not the weight in pounds that makes the difference in quality and quantity of fat, but rather the amount of fat and the distribution. When you perform liposuction, around 75% or more of the aspirate is fat, the remainder being tumescent fluid, some blood and oil (ruptured fat cells). If you want 500cc;'s of fat transferred to each buttocks, then you should have at least 1400-1500cc's of total aspirate (amount taken out).
Best wishes.
