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: 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.

Answer: BBL after implant removal Dear Neat, You should be fine with removal of your undesired, gluteal implants, immediately followed by a BBL. The fat is injected, much more superficial than where the gluteal implant was located. The chance of a fat embolus is the same or only slightly elevated (due to the two procedures)
