5'6", 200 pounds. How big can I go?

Question

How big can I go? How much fast in each cheek can I safely have and how long will it last? I want my butt to look like Cherokee d'ass if that possible? Or close,?

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Provided you are otherwise healthy, I think that you could really have a large amount of fat transferred during your BBL.  My guess would be 1500 - 2000 cc per cheek.  As far as looking like Cherokee, I would need pictures of what you look like now to make an accurate assessment.  Good luck!

Ross Blagg, MD · Answer

It's difficult to say without photos or an evaluation, but to get a result that dramatic, you would likely need implants or several BBL procedures. If you are able to invest in 2-3 BBL procedures over the course of a few years, this will likely give you the best result in the long-term. One of the advantages of BBL is that the liposuction can contour your waist, which will further enhance the appearance of the buttocks. As mentioned, transferring too much fat at once will lead to fat necrosis, which means there will be loss of fat cells that were transferred and you could develop uncomfortable, firm cysts in the buttocks. Best to have an in-offic consultation to review your goals and options. Best of luck!

This is a question you can't answer online.  It is best if you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person assessment.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
To determine the right amount of CC's to transfer in a BBL, an in-person consultation is in order, because it depends on a number of factors.
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 :)

I had to look up photos of Cherokee....wow!Without examining you, it is certainly impossible to say how big you can go....  That said, she has a very large butt and I think it would be doubtful that if you are starting with a normal size butt that those results could be achieved in one procedure. If too much fat is injected at one time, there is a increasing rate of the fat not taking during the procedure and being resorbed.  I.E.  you can not just keep injecting and get it all to stay.

Samir Shureih, MD · Answer

The larger the amount of fat transferred to the buttocks the more fat necrosis and the less the amount of fat that will stay.The largest amount of fat transfer is not necessarily the best. What is important is how much fat will survive. What is the body shape, curves, proportions/ that is the most important

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

There are limitations of how much fat can be placed based upon the patient's anatomy and this includes donor site availability,  and soft tissue accommodation issues. In addition how much can be placed can also be impacted by how long the surgery is, or even how much fat is capable of being removed to name a few.

Brian Arslanian, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, its hard to answer this question without seeing you in person.  Meet with a Plastic Surgeon to get a better idea.  It depends on your distribution of fat, what your butt currently looks like, and what expectations you have.  The volume itself doesn't really matter.   About 60% of the fat typically survives after transfer, and typically lasts a lifetime depending on drastic weight gain or lossgood luck
