Can nurses perform a BBL?

Thank you for your question. Only Board certified plastic surgeon are allowed to performs this kind of procedure. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Thank you for your question. In Turkey where I perform my surgeries, nurses are not allowed to perform any surgeries. Their responsibility is to assist us during the operation. BBL is one of the riskiest cosmetic procedures. It must be performed by a qualified surgeon. Please do your research very carefully while choosing your surgeon. Best wishes.

Hello @Lovemybody1, thank you for your question. A lot depends on the state's regulations where you are going to have surgery. In order to make the right decision for your surgery, it is crucial that you consult with a number of specialists, get documentation about their work, ask for credentials and referrals, and decide on who you trust the most to carry out the surgery.

The short answer is no, especially in the United States. Only physicians can perform these procedures. For your own safety, make sure the procedure is performed by a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with this procedure. Also make sure the clinic or surgeon you go to does not have assistants performing any part of the procedure. Some clinics that are higher volumes tend to have "ghost surgeons" who perform all or part of the procedure.

In Mexico is forbidden a nurse performs ANY type of invasive procedure besides those related to nurse normal activity: IV, meds, cleaning wounds, absolutely nothing else.
