How many cc to each butt cheek to get a big butt? (Photo)

Our average BBL patients gets about 580 cc of fat reinjected into each buttocks cheek. However, rather than concentrating on a specific number of cc's of fat to get the “biggest" butt, concentrate on creating the best looking waist-hips-butt ratio (small waist and a curvy transition between the lower back and butt). The actual amount of fat reinjected doesn't have to be that large as long as that transition area has a nice looking curve. Liposuction (harvesting) will already begin to contour the area before injections are even performed.
The only ABMS approved residency training program that teaches Liposuction and Fat transfer is ‘Plastic Surgery,' so please be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with Brazilian butt lifts.

Hello chynabali,

It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! I would recommend an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) performed first to get rid of stretch marks and excess skin, and a 4D VASER Liposuction combined with fat transfer to the hips and buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), three to six months after you’ve completely recovered from the initial procedure. Dividing the surgical plan into two stages would be the best option for 1) eliminating the excess skin, fat around your abdomen, and stretch marks and 2) reshaping your figure and giving you a fuller, beautifully rounded backside, afterwards. Ideal results wouldn’t be achieved by liposuction procedures performed only. Have in mind that the volume of fat that can be safely injected into the hips and buttocks varies from patient to patient, and it will depend on the patient's anatomy and cosmetic goals. Your plastic surgeon would need to evaluate you in person to assess your candidacy for abdominoplasty and BBL, and decide how much fat volume can be safely grafted to achieve optimal aesthetic results. Best regards! Dr. De La Cruz.   

Potential candidates should also have adequate fat reserves for transfer. This becomes especially important when one considers the anticipated rate of fat resorption and graft loss. I typically recommened patients aim for at least 500 cc transferred per cheek. This would amount to 1 liter of fat (not lipoaspirate) after processing. Candidates with inadequate fat reserves are likely to be disappointed with their ultimate volume once healing is complete. 
With regards to your specific question, enough is a relative question and depends upon the patient and their unique goals. I typically recommend a minimum of 500 cc per cheek (mirroring the most common implant correlate). While 500 cc is unlikely to create a dramatic augmentation (when accounting for losses), less than this is likely to leave too subtle a change for most. 
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
