Would 1300cc per cheek still give me that natural look? I'm 5'9 and 218 pounds. (photos)

Question

I read about 40-50 % of the fat that is transferred will be absorbed..so I should over do how much I really want injected to have the end result I want.

Based upon your pictures, I think that 1300 cc per buttock is likely a reasonable amount to transfer.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. You can achieve noticeable results with 1,300cc of fat. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello and thank you for your question and photos. A natural look can be achieved with a 1300cc fat transfer. A good result is determined by the quality of the fat transferred and the technique and location of the fat placement. Adherence to the post operative instructions is also critical to achieving a good outcome. I hope this helps you and best of luck.

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.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.

There are limits to what can be injected and this depends upon the availability of fat and how  much will be able to be injected at any one time. But yes, in my experience patients lose about 30-40% of the initial volume ( which includes the swelling).

Hello and thank you for the question. The Brazilian butt lift has become one of the most popular procedures today. The procedure is a combination of liposuction and fat transfer. The surgery is done under full anesthesia, and takes about 2+ hours to complete. Most patients will need a week off of work and about 1-2 months before you resume exercise. 
The success depends both you and the plastic surgeon. Your underlying health, available fat, skin tightness and elasticity, and the size / shape of your buttocks will affect the quality of the outcome. The plastic surgeon's skills, experience and judgement in this procedure will also be key factors in the quality of your outcome. Remember that some of the fat that is transferred does not survive. Typically about 70% of the fat lasts long term.
Your pics show some skin laxity of the tummy area. If you are considering having that liposuctioned, you may want to think about a tummy tuck instead. The loose skin will not improve and likely get worse after liposuction. 
The ideal brazilian butt lift, is not just to make the butt bigger. The goal is to shape the back starting from the waist down to the hips. 
As always it is best to be healthy, no smoking, and to make sure any health care concerns you have are managed by your primary care doctor.
Best to you
