Do I have enough fat for 1000cc in each cheek and hips for a BBL? (photos)

Hello. Thank you for your question. Your photos indicate that you have a very good starting point for your BBL. You have a natural shape to your torso and buttock regions. Liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and peributtock regions will result in a nice contour and harvest of fat. You seem to carry some volume of fat in your thighs, so liposuction of the inner thighs and anterior regions will definitely help increase the volume. I believe that you will get close to 2000 cc, maybe not exactly, but this can be transferred to the buttock regions nicely. Best of luck!

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. While the exact amount of fat available for transfer is difficult to say from photos, you will have a good result with 360 Lipo + BBL.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuction with BBL for betters results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Thank you for your question and photos. From your photos, you are a good candidate for BBL. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas creating a shape that accentuates your hips & buttocks. Fat transfer to your hips & buttocks will bring out your curves, increase volume in your buttocks and improve shape. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for a BBL and you should have a good result. The amount of fat available for transfer to the buttocks is hard to estimate without an examination, and of course it depends on which areas you will undergo liposuction to. I hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

I don't think you need to worry on the exact number of cc for each side as depending on your height and frame that may be way too much. If patients do not have sufficient fat from the usual areas of the abdomen, flanks and back, you can add areas like the arms and inner thighs. It looks like you would be an appropriate candidate.

You are a slender patient and you do not have fat enough to transfer 1000 cc’s of fat per side.
That means doing a 4000 Cc liposuction where almost 50% do the fat is damaged and only 50% usable. Buttocks implants in combination with lipo and fat grafting could add some more volume (not huge as your wish photo) and shape.
The photo is your wish result is an unrealistic expectation. You don’t have that bone frame of the image.
Be encouraged.

Dear bina25,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question. The answer is yes! You have more then enough fat for 360 lipo BBL. Just remember that you need to keep that weight on, in order to maintain your results. Gaining weight after surely will also increase the size of the BBL. This is because most of the fat cells from your tummy, love handles, waist, flanks and back, will soon be “living and thriving” your butt and hips. They will behave just like they did before, growing and shrinking with weight gain and weight loss.

It is hard to say if you will have 1000cc of pure fat for both sides, but I’m sure more then, or at least 3,000cc of liposuction can be achieved. Another issue is how much fat can actually fit. Some patients have tighter skin then others and this may limit the amount of fat that can be grafted. This is probably not an issue in your case, but it is hard to asses with photos.

Make sure you choose a surgeon that is has experience with smaller patients and you should have great results!

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota
