My husband had a vesactomy 3 months ago. I found out I was pregnant had a medical abortion. Will my surgens to got ahead with my tummy tuck?

There should be no problem with you proceeding with a tummy tuck following an abortion. You need to wait several weeks though for things to settle down and make sure there is no infection. You should also seek the advice of your gynecologist in addtion to you rplastic surgeon for best timing. Good luck!

Is It Good to Gain Weight Before a BBL?

I am 5'4 about and weight 150 pounds should i gain or lose weight? Should i stop working out? My bbl is in March 26

Judging from your height and weight it does not appear that you have to gain weight before the BBL. You should have enought donor fat for transfer, but ultimately your plastic surgeon would judge whether you are a candidate for the surgery. To get the best results you should consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with the BBL.

Can Botox Injections Leave Residue on Skin? Is This Risky?

Can Botox injections leave residue on skin, and can this be ingested accidentally (ie hands or showering)? How many units of Botox ingested are toxic?

There is no residue from Botox injections.  Medical grade botox, used in appropriate amounts, does not produce toxicity.  If you are implying that someone might "ingest" or eat Botox, that would be completely inappropriate.
