Dr. Robert Whitfield explains fat transfer for the face and buttocks. Facial grafts need tiny amounts placed deep to avoid lumps, while Brazilian butt lifts require about 500 cc per side for visible results.
Simultaneous fat transfer. You want to get enough volume to transfer. So think of strategically, there's three areas that get fat transfer. Anatomically, we do faces, but when you do a face, it's very little fat. And you usually want to have it much deeper because anything superficial will be easily visible. You don't want that. This, the buttocks is a very common place for fat transfer. Brazilian butt lift is a fat transfer to the buttock. Now, the buttock is such a large area, so you got the gluteus maximus, which is the muscle, and then deep fat, superficial fat. But it's a much thicker area, much larger area. And if in our experience, typically, if you didn't put like 500cc's per side, a half liter per side, it was hard to see a visible change, unless somebody wanted a very small feeling of a hip dip or something like that.
