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?

Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

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.
