BBL After Hair Transplants Safe?

User Avatar
assxuse meJul 5, 2012
I am going to get hair transplants to lower my hairline (4000grafts) and I plan to have a Brazilian Butt Lift 7days after.Would this be safe? Are there any issues with anesthetic in a short period of time? A doctor (who is not my PS) suggested that I get the BBL first then do the hair 7days later but wouldnt this affect my fat grafting results as I am not meant to sit for three weeks? I understand for the transplant procedure I would have to lie on the operating bed for about 7hrs/more! Thanks

In my opinion, a #3 guard length will not adequately cover your linear scar. To be satisfied with this method of surgery, I would advise you to try a longer hairstyle. A longer hairstyle will be especially helpful in the long run, as these scars can stretch and widen over time.

There is not a very reliable way to do this. Any of these (or a combination) can be done depending on your surgeon and presentation: Steroid injections Grafting hairs to camouflage it Removal of grafts with tissue to debulk area Excision
