Is it safe to undergo lipo and a fat transfer/BBL for a patient with a history of Hodgkins Lymphoma?

kimberm21Oct 22, 2017

I was diagnosed with Hodgkins May 2014. I finished 12 rounds of ABVD chemotherapy November 2014 and have been in good health since. Only surgery I’ve had since was my port removed three weeks ago which I was put under for and that went fine. Would my Lymphoma history be a problem? If I could have the surgery I was thinking maybe end of 2018. Should I wait until I hit 5 years cancer free? All answers are appreciated!

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  ...

If you are in good overall health and are at a healthy weight, it is possible to have a combined tummy tuck and BBL. During the recovery it's important to avoid pressure on your buttock so positioning becomes key. Watch this brief video for more information.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
