Could I get a BBL if I have sickle cell trait?

A
amazonianbeauty29Jul 19, 2018

I’m interested in getting a bbl, but I have sickle cell trait. I’ve heard some physicians refuse to perform surgery on patients with sickle cell, but I haven’t seen much about those solely with the trait. Are there any possible complications I should know about? I’ve never had problems working out or staying active, and when I’ve donated blood, I’ve always had enough hemoglobin, even for the double donations.

Thank you for your question. Typically, you can gradually ease into activities such as exercise and sexual intercourse between 2-3 weeks after a Brazilian butt lift. For a tummy tuck I would suggest waiting closer to 6 weeks. Please talk with your surgeon about their recovery protocol. Hope th...

Thank you for your question. Yes you can do both procedures in the same surgery. After a brazilian butt lift no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions.  The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the p...
