What's a Safe and Legal Amount of Fat to Lipo and Inject into the Buttocks in FL?

Hi there-

In Florida, there is a legal limit on the amount of fat that may be removed when the liposuction is combined with another procedure (like a breast augmentation).

This limit does not exist when the procedure is NOT part of combination procedure.

On the other hand, most of us (responsible surgeons Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery) agree that removal of more than 4 liters at one time increases risks and should change the circumstances of the patient's postop care.

In the hands of a very experienced and successful Brazilian Butt Lift surgeon, you should be able to expect ~80% of the fat to survive long term.

It is very important for you to understand that your behavior will GREATLY affect your safety and your outcome, however- so follow your surgeon's instructions carefully and don't miss your appointments. In my long experience with this procedure, the only times I have had a patient dissatisfied with her outcome was when our instructions were unfortunately not followed (she sat on her butt) or expectations were unrealistic despite our best efforts to explain what was possible.

Be a good patient, choose your surgeon carefully, and you have a better chance of being happy!

 

Typically speaking if the surgeon has good fat harvesting techniques, you should have a survival rate of fat of about 80%-85%. Secondly, typically you can't remove more than four liters of fat. We have injected anywhere from 600 cc per side to over 1200 cc per side.It depends very much on harvesting tecjnique for fat survival and liposuction technique for how much one can obtain.

 

i hope this helps and make sure your surgeon is board certified.

As a surgeon is only allowed to take only about 1000cc of fat in a combo procedure instead of 4000cc in a single procedure.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.
