How long after BBL surgery can I get a tattoo on my hip/butt?

Question

I plan on getting the BBL surgery in April 2024 or May 2024. When can I get a tattoo on my hip/butt after the surgery?

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. I would check with your surgeon first but typically 6 months prior to doing a tattoo. Anytime you break the skin barrier there is a risk of infection.

Dear Melxx101,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello @Melxx101, thank you for your question.  This depends on several factors related to your healing process. In general, it is advisable to wait for at least several months post-surgery before considering a tattoo. This time allows for the swelling and inflammation to subside and for the transferred fat cells to be seeded successfully. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
