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.You can get surgery as long as you don't have symptoms. If you have a plan to get a chelecystectomy surgery in order to remove gallbladder, then you should do it first prior to any cosmetic procedure. Of course I would highly recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in this procedure if you are interested in proceeding with surgery. I hope that helps! Best of Luck!

Great question! It depends if you have symptoms with the gallstones - if you're having issues with it then this should be taken care of first before proceeding with elective surgery. However, if you're not having issues and your primary care physician provides you with a medical clearance to proceed, then yes a BBL and TT could be performed.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsaiBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
Dear Exciting932,you can get a surgery as long as you don't have symptoms. If you have a plan to get a chelecystectomy surgery in order to remove gallbladder, then you should do it first prior to any cosmetic procedure. 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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
The BBL and TT could be performed with medical clearance. However, I would address the gallbladder problems first if there is any evidence of inflammation or infection; and if a cholecystectomy is required, wait 6 weeks to 3 months to have the BBL and TTLperformed. However, there is not a hard and fast rule here. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
You will make a great candidate for TT and BBL even if you have gallstones ! If you need to have your gall bladder removed, I would do this first, as the poke holes that they make for gallbladder removal may be removed with your tummy tuck. So if you need gallbladder removal do this first and wait at least 6 weeks to let all of the swelling from your belly out prior to proceeding with elective stuff. Please consider high definition liposuction body contouring to optimize your outcomes by getting a consultation from a high def provider.

The results immediately following surgery will be the largest due to swelling and lack of fat resorption. The buttocks will continue to decrease in size for the first few weeks. I have observed that between 4 and 6 weeks the buttocks tend to stabilize in volume. Usually by 3 months, the s...
Itching is fairly common after surgery. If there is any sign of rash or allergic reaction, that would be something different. Follow up with your PS to determine if any of your medications could be the culprit. Lumps after BBL could represent fat necrosis. Painful lumps need an evaluation for...
