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

Absolutely not! In fact, you won’t realistically be able to use all of the fat harvested during your liposuction. During a BBL procedure, your plastic surgeon will remove fat via liposuction from areas where you don’t want it. This fat is then processed and examined, with your surgeon injecting only the healthiest and most viable fat cells into your buttocks. Not all of the harvested cells will make the cut.
The amount of fat used in your BBL is based on your aesthetic goals and desired outcome. Your surgeon will assess whether you have enough excess fat to meet your goals, but there is no need to use all of your harvested fat if doing so would create an undesirable result for you.

Dear XeriousNara, thanks for sharing your concerns.

It is not mandatory to use all the extracted fat, your surgeon can use some to provide the look you are looking for and drop the rest. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

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.
