Dear lilyknowles1,
you will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If you have the sickle cell trait, you are able to have a BBL. If you have sickle cell disease, you are not a good candidate for a BBL. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for guidance.

Hello dear!! 
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Please talk to your primary doctor to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals. 
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
