Is a Brazilian butt lift safe after butt implant removal? Do my chances of fat embolism go up due to my previous implants?

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.

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)
