Can you get BBL after butt implants? What are the risks? How long would I have to wait to get a BBL after getting butt implants?

Hi and welcome to our forum!Fat grafting to the buttocks can be performed after previous placement of buttock implants. As the implants are made of sold silicone rubber and not a gel, there is no risk of puncture damage. There is theoretic increased infection risk as fat transfer involves manipulation of the fat outside of the body, which is then injected into the proximity of the previously placed buttock implant. If the buttock implants are subfascial or submuscular, they are in a totally separate plane, and the increased risk is negligible. The operator must be aware of the presence of the previous implants to ensure superficial placement. It is best to wait at least 6 12 months before contemplating BBL to allow for subsidence of swelling and the hypervascularity of healing.Seek evaluation form a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes...

Dear plastic090909,
you should be fully healed prior to any additional elective procedure. 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.
