Visible veins and BBL. Is this a risk?

Hello @Pioneering86160, thank you for your question. There should be no risk because the fat is seeded deeper than where the spider veins are. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Pioneering86160,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, fat is transferred under the veins that are visible on skin. 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.

There’s no evidence that having old skin Bates put anyone at increased risk for complications during the BBL procedure. Yes someone has unusually large veins such as a Venus malformation that could be a potential risk factor.
