Not Enough Fat for Brazilian Butt Lift

First I would recommend that you seek a consultation by a
plastic surgeon that commonly performs this procedure so that they can give you
your options. The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs of
each individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need to
be placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typically
receive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fat
transfer. However just like a breast
augmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patients. Also the sculpting done with the liposuction is
a big part of the procedure to improve the overall shape.

Unfortunately fat cannot be taken from someone else and used
for augmentation. However if a patient
has a BMI of 22 they typically will have enough fat for the Brazilian butt
lift. If they are smaller than this then
they will need to consider doing an augmentation with implants. Buttock implants can give patients a very
nice result. Commonly buttock implants
are combined with some fat transfer depending on the needs of the individual
person.

When considering this procedure it is very important that
you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

In general of the procedures that I perform this is one
where patients tend to be universally extremely happy.

I hope this helps.

Hello. If you really don't have enough fat for a BBL the only other option would be Butt Implants. Butt Implants go inside the muscle on the upper half of the butt, so they usually don't fill out the butt and hips as natural as a BBL would. I suggest you see a plastic surgeon with experience in BBLs on smaller patients for an evaluation. Smaller patients can achieve very good results, they may not be huge results, but very good results none the less. It will ultimately depend on what your looking for. I feel it is best to try the BBL first. If it doesn't work work then you can opt for the implants. Because doing the Butt Implants first and then having to remove them if they don't achieve the results your looking, may result in exess skin and a saggy butt.  P.S. Try to post a follow up question with your photos and wish pics to better understand your case.Best of luck,Dr. Miguel  Mota

An implant is an option if you don't have enough fat to transfer to your buttocks. However, before making this conclusion, please see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in performing Brazilian Butt Lifts. They may find that you do in fact have enough fat.
