What's the Maximum Amount of Fat That Can Be Safely Harvested to Perform a BBL?

Generally speaking, you don't want to remove more than 5 liters of fat (in an outpatient setting) during a fat transfer procedure. From that amount you may only get 1.5-2 liters of pure fat this is able to be reinjected; which is a large amount- about 750-1000cc per side. There is no maximum amount of fat  which can be removed, only guidelines. You should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine first if you are a good candidate and second, what the right amount of fat would be to get the best results in your particular case.

There is no maximum or minimum amount, but with my liposuction techniques, I never harvest anything less than 700 cc per side, with my maximum being between 1100CC to 1300 CC. That is based solely on the ability to do aggressive liposuction in teh donor areas that we work on. Also not every patient can get that amount if they truly don't have teh fat in donor areas to give, and that is when we discuss other areas such as arms to obtain additional fat.

I hope this helps.
