I am curious why I was denied a BBL?

Question

I want a BBL, but was recently denied by a plastic surgeon in Miami. I am very healthy, but I do have an autoimmune disease name Scleroderma which is very similar to lupus. It causes chronic hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, but I do not have the hardening to the connective tissue at all. I am 5’2, 145lbs, not on medication (never been), do not smoke or drink, and never been hospitalized. My rheumatologist said I could have the surgery. So I am curious?

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Dear beyondbeauty0,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult another board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and Daniel Barrett, MD

That's probably just a personal decision from the plastic surgeon.  i haven't heard of that as a reason to deny fat transfer so I would consult with perhaps another board certified plastic surgeon who performs BBL's on a regular basis.  Do your homework with people offering cosmetic procedures.  I recommend going through the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to start your search.  Best Wishes!!

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question every surgeon have a diferents threshold for who is candidate for plastic surgery or not. you can ask always why the specialyst denied you.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The plastic surgeon with whom you consulted can provide you with his/her reasons for denying you the BBL. Even though your rheumatologist approved the surgery, there must have been some extenuating circumstances (medical records, lab reports, previous experience) that made your PS uneasy about the safety of performing the surgery or risks of delayed healing .
