I found out that my doctor has a limit of 700 cc in each cheek after I paid the surgery in full. If I cancel I won’t get half of that back. I wish I knew this before because after doing some research I hear a lot of females get about 1000 cc or more. I was wondering will that be a noticeable difference being that not all the fat last? He also didn’t say he would put 700 cc only that was his limit. I’m kind of sad finding this out now. What do u guys think? I’m 5’5 and weigh 145. Thanks guys!

Answer: Fat transfer volume-BBL Every surgeon has their technique and limits. 700cc's / cheek may be adequate in many patients, but others easily accept or require more volume to get the results they desire. Don't throw away your excess fat. You cannot get it back or store it. Dr T

Answer: BBL volume Hello and thank you for the question and photos. The amount of fat transferred depends on how much you are starting with, the size of your butt and the degree of loose skin available. I would argue against setting a somewhat arbitrary number of cc's you can have injected. Looking at your photos, it would seem that 700cc is a conservative number. It's possible your doctor is being careful to give you a lower number just in case he is unable to put more. However, it's a pretty common policy for most doctors to under promise and over deliver. Tends to make a happier patient. I would suggest having a heart to heart discussion and make sure your desires are known. It's best to put everything on the table before you go into surgery. Best to you.
