What constitutes good fat verses bad?

There is a fibrous component, which may be difficult to transfer, but most of the fat can be used.  When I refer to the amount I liposuction it represents fat, but many surgeons will use the total amount of fat and fluid.  This may mean that much of what was liposuctioned represented fluid.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

  There is no such thing as good and bed fat. This is a complete fabrication. The only thing I can think of where someone would remove so much fat and only put 500 mL is that the recipient site did not have enough capacity to hold the fat. This is very common laterally in the hip region and can easily be addressed with new techniques that  have  been developed. Please see my website. Best regards Dr. Delvecchio

Sorry you are dissatisfied.  BBL is done by harvesting fat from potential donor sites.  The volume taken out usually represents fluid and fat and maybe the only fat that could be used was what he put in.

when liposuction is performed, there is more than just pure fat that is removed.  there is a fluid that is generally placed into the tissues first - which both helps numb the area and also minimize bleeding.  when liposuction is performed, both this fluid and fat are removed together.  of the 3800 cc removed, it may be that only 1,000 of it was fat - and this was divided up and used for each side (500 for one hip/butt, and 500 for the other hip/butt).  two weeks postop is not enough time to see any sort of final result.  at this point the best thing to do is follow-up with your plastic surgeon and review your progress together.  several months from now - review your pre and post-op photos together and then discuss your concerns with them.
