I want to get lipo BBL but I get abscess/boils, will that be an issue?

From your description of getting abscess where you sweat, you may have a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. This can be a difficult condition to treat and manage and can be very sever in some people.

If your case is mild, I think you may still be able to undergo a Brazilian Buttlift. However, you may need to take extra precautions including additional antibiotics.

Another important factor to consider is timing. You do not want to have anything done while you have any active abscess or boils.

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello, thank you for your question. If you currently do not have an active boils/abscess, you may be a candidate for a BBL, this will also depend upon the location, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear Glorious944131,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, you should be healty and all medical conditions should be under control 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.

Good day. I won’t recommend having a BBL because of your current skin issue, due to the fact you can get worse because of the fat graft in your buttocks. I don’t consider that’s a doable option in you case based in my experience. But you might consider having a 360 lipo and HD Vaser lipo to enhance the lower back and the remaining of your current butt size and shape.

It sounds like you have a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa.

Plastic surgeons will have different views on how to approach this. It also depends on the extent of disease.

Some surgeons may put sterile dressings over infected areas or choose different incision points.

I suggest you discuss this during in person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom
