When Having a BBL, Does It Hurt More or Less According to CCs?

The more cc’s, the tighter the pocket, and the increase in needle sticks will cause a little more pain. Thank you for your question and good luck.

 

Although I have not compared objectively if the pain after  a Brazilian butt lift surgery varies depending on the amount of fat that is injected, I have not seen a major difference in pain after the surgery in those patients based on the amount of fat injected. I have even injected 1500 cc of fat into each buttock and the patients complain similarly to those that I injected  less fat.   Most patients complain of some soreness after the procedure due to the multiple areas that suffer liposuction.  Pain after this procedure is not significant and most patients complain of soreness,  but again pain is very subjective.

This  is difficult to answer as each patient has a different experience with pain during this procedure, but generally speaking the larger volume injections may hurt more due to more stretching of the muscle, skin and soft tissues. The level of pain however may not be that much more with a 400cc compared to an 800cc transfer-at least this has been my patient's experience. The buttock will be sore even if you inject only 200 ccs because the fat is injected quite deep-into the gluteal muscle-and this can be painful.

Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon at the time of consultation for more information.
