Would a past jejunum tube scar affect a BBL? (photos)

Hello, I recommend seeking consultations only with board certified plastic surgeons to perform your BBL procedure. They will examine you and decide if you are healthy enough for surgery. Typically scars such as jejunum feeding tube scars do not interfere as a skilled surgeon will be able to access the tissue area and decide if liposuction in that area is appropriate. I will tell you that I recommend all of my BBL patients have an extra 10 pounds of weight to be liposuctioned and achieve the best BBL results. Hope this helps. Best Wishes, Dr. Lane Smith Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Las Vegas, NV 

Hello. Thank you for your question. Generally, scars do not get in the way of having a bbl procedure. You may also benefit from scar revision as well. Further evaluation will be needed. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear Skyebox,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like your scar is indented so you can probably get a liposuction around it to harvest enough fat. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for writing,To have a 360 lipo for a BBL. You need to be throughly evaluated for scars, hernias and even a piece of the jejunum stuck to the skin from below. This can is a big deal if bowel tissue is injured. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will know how to proceed, what studies to obtain and what consults are necessary to ensure the safest and best results. Good luckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACS

It sounds from your description that the scar at the skin level is tethered to deeper scar tissue. The lipo could be done around this scar and not disturb this scar at all. It is sunken in anyway. What I would say is make sure you are healthy to undergo an elective cosmetic surgery as having a J tube is not a "normal" history. 

No, the scarring you have from your jejunum tube will not affect a BBL operation. In fact, your scar may benefit from a surgical revision to improve it's appearance. This will, of course, need to be discussed with a board-certified plastic surgeon and assessed in person during your consult.If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

 Most likely having had a previous feeding tube will not interfere with having a BBL. I suppose conservative plastic surgeons may want to get some type of imaging study first Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
