I have a hernia in my stomach. Can I still get a bbl?

  If you have an abdominal wall hernia of any sort, this can be repaired and then the liposuction and BBL can be performed.Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the
results you would expect. Look at reviews on this site and see who gets the surgery right every time. Find
a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian
buttlifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can
deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The hernia should be evaluated and treated prior to any sort of BBL procedure. Once the hernia has been taken care of you can move forward with your BBL procedure. 

Almost all BBLs involve harvesting fat from the abdomen. It would be unsafe to do this with a known abdominal hernia. I suggest you consult with a general surgeon, get this repaired, and only consider BBL after the hernia surgery has completely healed. Your general surgeon would tell you when you are cleared for your BBL.

If you have a hernia you will need to get that fixed to avoid complications related to harvesting  fat for augmentation of the buttocks.

Hi there, and thanks for your question. I am glad you are asking and being careful. A hernia should really be evaluated and treated by a general surgeon before you attempt any liposuction procedure. When we perform BBLs usually we liposuction the front of the abdomen as one of the areas to harvest fat from and improve contour. Therefore, if you have a hernia in that area then you could possibly injure a loop of intestines. I really recommend investigating your hernia with a general surgeon and do this the right way. Then after that's been repaired you can consider your BBL in 3 to 6 months. I wish you all the best!
