I had got a butt injection in 2013 a very lil on the top of my butt but now I’m interested in a bbl . Can I still get a bbl without removal of the injections
Answer: Butt injection/BBL. Can I still get a BBL without removal of the injections? (Photo) I see two or three patients a week who have had injections of something into their buttocks. Many times they are unsure of the product. Silicone may pose an unnecessary risk to fat transfer in this situation. In the past, I have cut these areas out and then fat grafted in the future. If the silicone has been injected in the distant past without difficulty, then fat transfer may be appropriate. However, the patient should understand that there is probably an increased risk of problems following the surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Fat graft transfer after previous injection of foreign material It is not clear from your question what kind of injection did you have? If it was fat there will be no problem to add additional fat grafts in the buttocks. However, if foreign material is silicone or some other substance, there is possibility that in the course of fat grafting this material gets infected and patient develops life threatening infection (sepsis). In person evaluation with full information about what injected material was, is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Butt injection/BBL. Can I still get a BBL without removal of the injections? Thank you for your picture and questions. Your candidacy for a BBL procedure can only be determined after an in-person consultation and discussion of your medical history. It may be possible to retain what you have and augment it with further fat grafting.

Answer: BBL after injections A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat transfer procedure that augments the size and shape of the buttocks without implants. Excess fat is removed from the hips, abdomen, lower back, or thighs with liposuction then a portion of this fat is strategically injected into the buttocks. The fat added during the procedure will help conture and enhance the areas of your previous injections. The BBL procedure will not remove or interfere with your previous injections. It is important to contact a skilled buttocks plastic surgeon to go over the procedure and discuss your desires from the BBL.
