Will this surgery interfere with my hip implants and will I be at a greater risk? I am 57 and in good health.
Answer: BBL - risk after hip replacement I have actually done a BBL on patient who had a hip replacement at a young age- she did really well! Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who performs larger volume BBL surgery regularly and get a "in person" consultation. Makes sure they are working with a PAL (power assisted lipo) device during the BBL and are comfortable with your situation. Best Wishes!!

Answer: BBL & Hip Implant Thanks for your question.If you had a hip replacement you're not at greater risk. If you had a cosmetic hip implant you're still not at greater risk, but the surgeon has to make sure the implant is not traumatized during fat grafting to the hips.Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Added risks if BBL performed after hip replacement? Hi and welcome to our forum!Any implant placed within the body is at slight risk of infection form bacterial seeding as the result of a subsequent surgical procedure (or even the result of brushing one's teeth). This risk is quite small. We recommend prophylactic antibiotics before, during, and after surgery in this situation.However, it may be wise to consider reevaluation by your orthopedic surgeon to ensure all has healed well before proceeding with the BBL.Best wishes...
