I want a Brazilian butt lift. 1800cc to 2000cc on each side. Is it too much 1800 cc to 2000cc? (photos)

Question

I'm 50 and very healthy. I had an appendisectomy 15 years ago. I have one child in 2000. No major scars and very healthy. I'm 25 pounds over my weight.

You appear to be a good candidate for a BBL.  Remember what's most important isn't the volume that's placed in each buttock, it's the quality of the transferred fat and the technique used to transfer it.  I do tailor the volume of fat grafted to my patient's wishes and her specific anatomy.  My typical range is 400 - 800 CC in each buttock, which has provided excellent results, and has avoided any unwanted side effects such as lumpiness or cyst formation.  Also, remember BBL involves liposuction of your abdomen and waistline (front and back)--- this alone will tighten your contour and enhance the curvature of your upper buttocks.  Best of Luck.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with a BBL and a tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and to get rid of the extra skin, and I think you'll get very good results. To determine the right amount of CC's to transfer in a BBL, an in-person consultation is in order, because it depends on a number of factors.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your waist, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape, along with the tummy tuck.
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 33 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 1800-2000 cc of fat transfer for each Buttock is unrealistic. The transferred fat need to be in contact with live tissue to acquire new blood supply and survive. Otherwise you will loose the volume very fast and have fat absorption and fat necrosis.

Daniel Del Vecchio, MD · Answer

1000-1700 cc each buttock is a good estimate.  Because of the abdominal skin laxity, you would need andominoplasty 4-6 months later.  Please see the referenced sites for many before and afters.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You look like a good candidate for a BBL. I would also suggest to consider a tummy tuck after the fat is harvested so that the abdomen can be tightened up.  Best to be evaluated in person.
