Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello @700ccmodel, thank you for your question.  This really depends the specialist performing surgery. For my patients, I advice them to wait 3 to 4 months to have a gluteal lipo molding procedure after implant removal. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs.  Best wishes!  Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Typically, it is recommended to allow an appropriate healing period after butt implant removal before considering a BBL. This healing period allows the tissues to recover and regain their natural shape. The specific duration can depend on various factors, such as the condition of the tissues, the healing process, and the recommendations of your surgeon.

Your surgeon will evaluate the state of your buttocks after the implant removal and determine when it is safe to proceed with a BBL. They will assess factors such as the amount of residual skin laxity, the quality of the underlying tissues, and any other considerations related to your overall health.

After removing butt implants, it's essential to allow your body sufficient time to heal and recover before undertaking another significant procedure such as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Generally, I would recommend a minimum waiting period of around 4 months before proceeding with a BBL.

This interval allows for any inflammation to subside and ensures that your body is fully recovered and ready for the next procedure. It's crucial to approach these procedures in stages to optimize safety and outcomes.

Before proceeding, please ensure that you are in the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with both implant removal and BBL procedures to guide you through the process and ensure the best possible outcome.

I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your journey.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thanks for your question. At my practice, I preform the butt implant removal and BBL at the same time so there is no waiting. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear 700ccmodel,
you should fully recover before you can get another elective procedure. Most plastic surgeons would recommend you to wait at least 6 months between procedures. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
