I want to get a Brazilian butt lift but my friend had one and got an infection. She was in the hospital for a few days. What are the cause of infections from bbl(fat transfer) and what can someone do to prevent them from occurring ? Is it related to the technique or hygiene ?

Answer: Infections after BBL Perioperative antibiotics have become a standard. There is less agreement about antibiotics for a period of time after surgery, though I still provide them for about a week. Surgeon experience and record are important. The risk of infection is extremely low. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
