After healing from a staph infection about a month ago, can I still have a Brazilian butt lift right after?

eviestar415Mar 13, 2016
I recently had a staph infection and I was on doxycycline to help treat it. I also used organic apple cider vinegar and coconut oil to help treat the boils. It's been about a month since I've healed and I was wondering if it's safe to get a Brazilian butt lift right away? If not, how long should I wait until it's okay to do the procedure??

There are many surgeons experienced in Brazilian Butt Lifts. Make sure to research their experience and results. Choose a surgeon who performs at least 6-8 BBLs per week and can show you over a hundred of his or her own results with long-term followup.

Thanks for posting.  In Florida rules dictate a maximum of 4L of fat in the outpatient setting.  Two L of fat in the buttock is HUGE!  Please see attached web reference.  Good luck!

Your surgeon should be able to provide a note, but keep in mind that your surgeon cannot lie. This means that he/she can be vague, but cannot say that you had a procedure that you did not have.

Thanks for your question! Most surgeons will offer payment financing options such as CareCredit. You can ask your surgeon during consultation or call/ask the office.

Hello Thank you for your question and pictures. You are still very early in your recovery. Try to be patient. Swelling, can take up to 6-12 months to settle, and bruising is very common during this time. As well as hardness in the buttocks region. It would be best to follow the instructions...
