I would really like to get a lipo 360/bbl but am nervous about risks (necrosis, blood clots, fibrosis, lipo burn, oil cyst, abscess). I also had sleep apnea as a kid & I'm not sure if that would affect the surgery in any way. I plan on going to a board certified plastic surgeon only who has performed over 5k bbls. Are these risks high even when going to a board certified PS?

Answer: BBL risks There is no doubt that BBL surgery carries risks you manetioned; however, in the hands of an experiencd, board certified plastic surgeon, these risks are reduced based on good preoperative evaluation, appropriate surgical technique (including fat grafting controled with ultrasound) and follow up protocol after surgery. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: Lipo 360/BBL procedure Thanks for your question dear Keeetz. Any type of surgery has their own risks not only plastic surgeries, but also is important to know if you go to a board certified plastic surgeon this type of risk can be minimal, as a doctor we let them know the complications can happened but we try as much as possible the patient has a successful surgery. As you have a sleep apnea I will first recommend to look for doctor who has perform this surgery on patient with this medical condition. And before I go I will also tell you something that I tell to my patients If you come to have surgery with many negative thoughts, it is better that you do not have any procedure, you must prepare yourself mentally for the entire process, not only for any type of complication you may have (minor or major) also for postoperative care. Good luck!
