The amount of fat that can be transferred during a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) depends on individual factors, such as your body type and the amount of available fat for liposuction. Dr. Brownlee carefully layers the fat, similar to spreading icing on a cake, to ensure that the fat cells are evenly distributed and able to establish a healthy blood supply. This technique helps minimize complications, such as the formation of painful lumps or oil cysts. Typically, Dr. Brownlee can safely transfer between 300 to 800 milliliters of purified fat into each buttock, but the exact amount varies from person to person. During your consultation, she will assess your unique anatomy and discuss realistic expectations for your BBL, ensuring that the results align with your aesthetic goals.
