Does the CC sum per buttock include the hips?

Question

Hi ! I am wondering when doctors say they put 800cc or 1500cc or sum per buttock, does it mean including the hips ? Like its for example 1500cc per left buttock(including the left hip) , or is it only in the actual buttcheek? And how many ccs are usually put in the hips? Thanks x

Thanks for your question. Yes, the CC's include everything that was injected into the buttocks as part of the BBL.

Hope this helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

The CC sum per buttock includes the hips. I typically transfer 1200 cc to 2000 cc per butt and hip to give the most dramatic transformation possible.

Thank you for your question. This may be surgeon dependent, however I usually count the hips and buttocks and one continuous number so it would be CCs per side. The number of CCs that are put into a patient depends on many factors, such as the amount of fat they are able to harvest and the patient's anatomy. Hope this helps!

Dear angeliiidede,
this depends on one surgeon to another. You should clearly discuss all your issues and questions with your plastic surgeon. 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.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. This is dependent on each individual surgeon. I like to think of the Hip and Buttocks as a continuous area with a smooth transition. My totals are given to the patient as both a sum of the both parts and as individual amounts so that they can understand exactly what was done. I hope this helps.
