Is There a Maximum Amount of CCs of Fat One Can Inject into the Butt?

Jasmine, There really is not a maximum amount of fat that can be injected into the buttocks. Basically, the amount injected depends on the 4 factors. 1) the amount of fat harvested, 2) the amount of good fat after processing, 3) the volume of the your buttocks, and 4) the amount of buttock augmentation requested. One size does not fit all when it comes to Brazilian butt lift. I hope you saw a Plastic surgeon. To ensure your safety, make sure you consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. If you are not sure, ask your surgeon this question: Board certified in What?

I have not heard about a maximum or limit on the amount of fat injected into the buttock but I have heard one national speaker state, that in his experience, the incidence of complications increase as the volume injected exceeds 850 cc. This is an anecdotal report and it is difficult to confirm an exact number. Certainly, the potential for greater necrosis increases as the volume injected increases but other factors such as techniques of harvesting, processing and injecting can also effect graft survival.

There is no maximum amount of fat that can be transferred into a buttock. It has more to do with the amount of fat harvested and the quality of the skin/tissue in the buttock area that will be the donor site.  This amount can range anywhere from 300 cc to 1000cc, possibly more.

An experienced board certified plastic surgeon can estimate how many cc's of fat you may have or need transferred.
