Is 6 months enough time after a BBL to get butt implants?

Question

Since BBL fat is injected over the muscle, and butt implants are under the muscle, can't you technically get butt implants right after BBL? Is 6 months enough or will my body reject butt implants?

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Although I deal with every patient on a case by case basis, my general recommendation is to wait at least six months after fat transfer before getting buttock implants.  As the buttock implant surgeon, I can never be guaranteed that the fat was only placed above the muscle and not within the muscle too. Also, regardless of what tissue plane it that was placed the swelling and inflammation created by the buttock implant procedure will greatly accelerate the death of the fat if done too soon after the BBL. Hope this helps.

After a six month recovery period following the BBL, butt implant surgery could be performed.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in both BBL and butt implant surgery to discuss the best plan for you to reach your ultimate goals.

Dear BrittE92,.every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait to see the final results and only then to plan a revision surgery. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for sharing.  6 months should be enough time.  As long as there weren't any complications with your BBL you should be fine.  Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well known in the medical community for it.  Ask to see a photo gallery and patient testimonials.
