400cc Enough for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Question

I'm getting BBL done and my Dr. said he could only transfer 400cc because of the shape/size of my butt cheeks. Is this too small?

Ricardo L. Rodriguez, MD · Answer

A fat transfer of 400cc to each buttock cheek can definitely make a difference! That amount will give you more shapely buttocks. However, the extent of the change will be a function of your current height and weight.  If you have a smaller frame, the 400cc will make a bigger impact. But do keep in mind that to transfer the total of 800cc (400cc for each cheek), your surgeon should be extracting >>1000 cc.  The reason is that only a portion of the fat removed is good enough to be reinjected.  Ricardo L Rodriguez MDBaltimore, Maryland

Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos.  I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Honestly, this can only be determined at a personal consultation.  There is no way to decide without seeing you in person.
