I am 5 foot 10 and 163 pounds. How many cc could be injected into each buttocks cheek?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for BBL and will have a good result. The amount of healthy fat that can be transferred is difficult to predict but based on the photos you will likely be able to have at least 4-500 mL of fat per buttock. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Based on these photos, you are excellent candidate for BBL. Only on the basis of in person consultation, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, can make an estimate how much fat can be removed and how much fat grafts would be available for buttock/hip shaping/augmentation. Good luck.

Dear Independent416502,
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.

There are too many variables to answer your question the way it’s posted. For example with the BBL is fat going to be transferred on your hips, blended into your thighs and if so how far down? Different plastic surgeons have very different approaches to what’s included in the BBL and what parts are grafted and with how much fat. There are more variables like if the fat is centrifuged or gravity separated and for how long? Simply search if using fat can double the concentration of fat versus water in once injected making 400 mL of fat the equivalent to 800 mL of fat that wasn’t centrifuged.

When it comes to how much fat can be removed you have to define exactly what areas are being treated. I typically treat the entire torso as one anatomic unit and from your torso which technically includes upper abdomen, lower abdomen, love handles, waist, full back and under arm area I would most likely remove 4 L of fat.

For grafting I do not centrifuge the fat instead typically do about an hour of gravity separation and my typical BBL volume is 800 mL per side.

In someone who has thin thighs I almost always graft the lateral thigh to create an even S-curve body contour.

In the end what’s important is to choose the most experienced provider in your area. Do that by having multiple in person consultations.

Best,

The Brazilian Lift involves more than just filling the buttocks. It removes fat from adjoining areas, and sometimes distant areas, to have sufficient donor fat. But it also involves contouring so there is nice proportionality. Injecting fat to the buttocks and hips is not just pumping fat. The photos suggest that you are a very good candidate for a BL, but you need to be examined by a Board Certified Plastic surgeon with lots of experience doing the procedure.
