I have butt implants that I honestly regret, they are placed over the muscle and they look very bad. I would like to remove them and get a bbl, my implants hurt and i feel like my but is bruised from the inside, is it safe to remove them and get a bbl? I'm mostly afraid of getting a fat embolism, i want most of the fat to go to my hips, is my chances of getting fat embolism higher this way? Thank you for your time.
Answer: Staged Approach It would be reasonable to remove the implants and then perform a BBL, but this should not be done in one surgery. I would suggest removing the implants first and allowing things several months to settle, and then doing the BBL at a second stage. In your case there will be more scar tissue present, and precautions should be taken when performing a BBL. The safest way to perform a BBL would be under ultrasound guidance to ensure that no fat is placed into the muscle.

Answer: Fat transfer after removal of buttock implants There is no evidence that fat embolisam is more frequent after implant removal. Implants are usually placed much deeper than fat grafts (underneath or within the muscle), while fat grafts are injected in the layer above the muscle. If this is done using ultrasound technology to clearly visualize space where grafts are injected, as we do in our practice, chances for fat embilisam are very, very low. Hope this helps.

Answer: Is a Brazilian butt lift safe after butt implant removal? Hello @700ccmodel, thank you for your question. This really depends the specialist performing surgery. It can be done. I advise my patients to wait for gluteal lipo injections since you have to look ahead to the long-term results. It is important to know the reabsoption rate of fat volume. The reason I do not perform these procedures together is that, in my experience, I do not get the results I require to feel at ease regarding the volume repositioning and if it will be permanent. Beacause there is an important inflammatory process, to perform this surgery you need to reacomodate tissue that has a healing process dependent on oxygen, circulation and all these things associated with it. Placing fat at that same moment is not the result I want for my patients. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
