Can I get a fat transfer if I had hormones injected into my buttocks 9 years ago?

Question

I had synthetic progesterone injected in the past to enhance my buttocks. In the beginning my buttocks were big and hard and with time it became less voluminous and soft again. Additionally, I haven’t had any complications. Can I get a fat transfer?

Dear Genius1527, thanks for sharing your question, I see no reason to not get fat transfer after years of that procedure however every surgeon have his or her own protocol I do rather recommend to ask directly to your surgeon or his/her team. Also follow all the recommendation and protocols. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about the possibility of undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or autologous fat transfer (AFT) to your buttocks after having hormone injections in the same area many years ago.
The good news is that receiving hormone injections in the past does not automatically disqualify you from getting a BBL or fat transfer to the buttocks. The key factor in the success of a BBL or AFT is having an adequate amount of fat available for transfer. If you have sufficient fat reserves in other areas of your body, they can be harvested and used to augment your buttocks.
It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to assess your current condition and determine the best course of action. They will evaluate the effects of previous hormone injections and advise you on the feasibility and potential outcomes of the procedure.
In summary, previous hormone injections should not impede the possibility of having a BBL, but a thorough evaluation by a plastic surgeon is essential to ensure safety and optimal results.
I hope this provides clarity on your options for buttock augmentation post-hormone injections. Best of luck with your decision.
Sincerely,

Dear Genius1527,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. generally speaking, you should be able to get fat transfer. 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.

I see no reason why you could not consider fat transfer years after progesterone injections. Any effect of these injection is gone by know and fat grafting should be without side effects. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in fat grafting should be considered. Good luck.
