Do you have to use all of the fat liposuctioned during a BBL?

Dear XeriousNara,
no, you don't need to use all the fat that was removed. Your surgeon can use part of your fat to achieve desired results. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks so much for your question,

No, you don't have to use all of the fat liposuctioned during a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), but it's often preferred to maximize the use of harvested fat for the augmentation process. During a BBL procedure, excess fat is typically removed from donor areas through liposuction, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. This fat is then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape

Your plastic surgeon will carefully evaluate the amount of fat needed to achieve your desired results while ensuring a safe and natural-looking outcome.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

If more fat is harvested, then what is needed for the fat transfer then the remainder of fat is usually thrown away.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom, MD
