How many cc do you think I can get for each cheek for my Brazilian Butt Lift? (photos)

This will depend upon your goals and your starting point. Fat can be taken from many different areas.In my opinion, you would want as much removed as possible up to 5 liters and as much transferred as possible.   I have put up to 2000 cc or more of PURE FAT per buttock in some patients, and I routinely get above 1500 cc per buttock.  For example, in most women of 5'6" 150 lbs, I can liposuction 5 liters and transfer 1200 cc to 1500 cc per buttock. I think that you can achieve 1000 cc or more per buttock.  Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

You would have to be evaluated in person to determine what amount of fat is available and then go from there.

The state of Florida board of medicine limits the amount of pure fat remove to 4000cc or 4liters. This is implemented for patient safety. Any higher volume then the patient would require resuscitation at a hospital setting.A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body this fat will grow and age with you.The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy.Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quote.
