I want to get lipo BBL done but have acne scars on my butt. Will I get denied from getting one? (Photo)

Question

When I was a teenager I use to breakout really badly on my butt. It has cleared up a lot now but has left acne scars behind. I want to get lipo bbl done mostly to fill in hip dips, but am worried I’ll get denied.

Hi! Thanks for your question. Acne scars on your buttocks are unlikely to disqualify you from a BBL. However, the surgeon may evaluate the texture and health of your skin, as scarring could affect the appearance of the fat transfer results. Discussing your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important to ensure realistic expectations and the best outcome.

Dear Soleixo03,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Hello and thank you for your question. Acne scars (or previous scarring in general) should not hinder your candidacy for BBL procedure. I recommend seeking evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck on your journey!

Daniel P. Markmann, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and including photos.   Having acne scars on your buttocks is not a contraindication for having a BBL.   If you had active pustules and infection, I wouldn't do it.  But, scars will not stop you from getting it done.
