I have had crohns since i was 5 and went into full remission since I got my colostomy. Am I still eligible to get the procedure?
Answer: Colostomy and BBL I have never done this type of surgery on patient with active colostomy. There is a possibility of contamination of operative areas in the course of liposuction and fat transfer which may create serious condition from local infection to sepsis, in worse case scenario? I would suggest to wait for reversal of colostomy, before doing elective surgery as BBL. Good luck.

Answer: Can I get a BBL even though I have a colostomy bag? If you are in good health, you should be a good candidate for a BBL. Fat can be taken from many different areas (abdomen, sides, back, bra rolls, thighs, arms, etc) depending upon the areas of excess and what your goals may be. Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. The goal is to transfer fat from areas where you find it displeasing to areas in which you would like more volume.

Answer: BBL candidate Dear shesherrrr, It is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Answer: BBL with Colostomy Assuming that there is no medical contraindication related to your Crohn's disease then Liposuction with avoidance of suctioning in the abdominal region would be a possibility provided your surgeon felt that contamination could be avoided. Best of Luck Dr Harrell
