How long after a BBL can I get Renuva injections?

Question

I was left with noticeable asymmetry on my butt after a BBL and would like to correct it ASAP but I also worry that the syringe will damage the fat cells. How long do I have to wait so that my newly put fat cells aren’t killed?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You should wait 3-6 weeks for the swelling to go down following a BBL before having Renuva injected. Renuva is a great solution for correcting small volume asymmetry in the butt
 
 The good news about Renuva is that it requires no liposuction, no anesthesia and there's no downtime – like there was with your BBL procedure. Your elite Renuva aesthetic injector will be able to do the treatment right in their office.

Ellen Marmur, MD · Answer

Renuva doesn't damage existing fat cells. When injected, Renuva creates a honeycomb-like matrix that acts as a scaffold that is then replaced by your body's own fat – over the course of three months.  It's best to talk with your surgeon about treatments following any surgical procedure, but once the swelling has subsided from your BBL there should be no reason why Renuva couldn't be used to balance small volume asymmetry in the buttocks.

Dear candykane09,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
