I am diabetic and I also have a fatty liver. I want to know if there is a problem with getting a BBL?

Hello and thank you for your question. If you are in a good health status otherwise and you have well-controlled diabetes, you should still be able to have the BBL. I
would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full
evaluation and advice. Best,

Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist
Being a Candidate for a bbl procedure while being diabetic would depend on your clinical state as well as your blood sugar and A1C levels being well controlled. Liver function would also have to be normal etc.  I would suggest consulting with your primary care doctor for medical clearance prior to consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and who can give you an in person examination and answer any questions you may have.
I hope that helps! Best of 
Luck! 

Hi and welcome to our forum!Your candidacy for BBL will depend upon your clinical state. If otherwise healthy, and if your blood sugars and A1C are well controlled, and if your liver function is relatively normal, you would be considered suitable. Preoperative evaluation, clearance, and recommendations are required from your primary care physician and / or endocrinologist to ensure safety.Your surgeon and anesthesiologist must be made aware of your clinical state as well as all of the medications you are taking (including over the counter).Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for in-person evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...

You need to clarify this with your board certified plastic surgeon as this will depend upon degree of elevation and potential causes. The health of your liver will need to be assessed before surgery is considered. Non-surgical solutions such as diets, exercise and changing lifestyle are recommended as first priority before considering other options for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).  If you are otherwise healthy with a BMI close to 30, a slightly elevated cholesterol may not present much of an issue in regard to moving forward.If your blood sugars are well controlled, you may be a great candidate for the BBL.  Your risk may be slightly higher, but I have performed this procedure safely in well-controlled diabetics.  

Dear luz cruz,
As long as your conditions are under control, you might be a candidate for a surgery. 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.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Please talk to your endocrinologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

As long as your diabetes is well-controlled and your primary care physician is comfortable with you undergoing the surgery (pre-operative clearance based on EKG, chest x-ray, and blood tests), then you should be fine to proceed with the operation.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.

having diabetes and a fatty liver does not necessarily exclude you from having elective cosmetic surgery.  There are medical conditions that need to be reviewed and managed appropriately.  Most people with fatty liver still having normal liver function though it is a progressive disease that can lead to liver failure.  If there is an underlying cause of liver damage that is correctable than that should be done first and foremost.  Basically, if you drink alcohol you have to stop.  You may or may not be a good candidate for this procedure. I think that should be addressed first.  My hunch is that this will not be a good procedure for you but I have very limited information without pictures so it’s just a bit of a random guess. The ideal patients for both liposuction and fat transfer 10 to be young, have tight skin, have excess fat and undesirable areas and no underlying other issues that are not addressed by this procedure such as muscle separation from previous pregnancies or skin laxity from weight changes, pregnancy or age.  People who are less than perfect candidate can still have the procedure but their expectations in regards to results need to be dialed in accordingly.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
