Is There a Limit on How Many CCs of Fat Can Be Injected into the Buttocks During a Fat Transfer? (photo)

Van777Mar 22, 2012
After a consultation I was told only 200 ccs would be injected in each cheek. After viewing before and after pics from this surgeon, I'm now debating whether I still want the BBL. I've seen other surgeons pics and they show the dramatic results I'm looking for. At 134 lbs and 5'1 Im sure I have the fat thats needed to get those results. I'm planning on meeting with another surgeon for a second opinion.

Hello. If you are prone or have a history of blood clots, it is recommended that you take Lovenox pre surgery. Check with your surgeon and be sure to be medically cleared by your primary care doctor before having the surgery done. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. There is not a specific age, but first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and  cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal. Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I suggest you wait for about 3-4 months after your surgery before you assess your results. It does appear that your butt has flattened out a bit, but at this point you should wait before considering a revision.
