How much does 1200cc of fat weigh? What is the maximum amount of fat that can be taken/ transfer during Brazilian Butt Lift?

Fat cells should be injected into healthy tissues with good blood supply.  Ideally the fat cells are even distributed so that they all have access to oxygen and nutrients.  If you overfill a butt, which is certainly possible, it's no different than overfilling a cup... it just spills out and gets lost.  If you inject too much fat into a butt, most of these cells will just die before your body has a chance to grow new blood vessels into the mass of injected fat.  A bigger butt can handle a larger injection.World authorities on BBL will tell you about 40% of the injected volume survives.  If you inject too much, the % drops down dramatically.

The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into.

Thank you for your question.

1200 cc of fat weighs approximately 2.5 pounds.

The limits of Brazilian Butt Lift depend on donor sites and the capacity with which the buttock area can receive the harvested and purified fat cells.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Usually the maximum liposuctioned is 5 liters.  I have transferred over 2000 cc per buttock.  I would search for the surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you
the best results. Look at reviews and before and after pictures on that
surgeon's website. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

There are 2.2 lbs. in one kilogram or 1000 grams which is the same in weight as 1000ml.  Your answer is a little over 2.2 lbs or around 2.5 lbs. Most plastic surgeons limit their volume of liposuction to 5000 ml. or cc. for safety. This should provide with plenty of fat for injection

1200 cc's of fat is 1.2 kilograms. It is a little over 2.3 pounds. The amount of fat injected into the buttocks depends upon the individual.
