I am 56 years old and would like to know if I can I get a BBL safely?

Good Morning E.haddock

Thank you for your question.
The answer to your question would be determined on your pre-op testing to be sure that you are healthy enough for the fat transfer to the buttocks region. This procedure of a BBl using fat transfer or, fat grafting, is usually done in combination with full body liposuction or some liposuction. Your blood work as well as a full ECG must show that you are healthy enough to undergo such a procedure.

Also, if you have already had liposuction, and have maintained your weight since the procedure back in 2007, there may no longer be sufficient fat stores or, "good quality fat" to harvest during liposuction for the fat transfer to the glutes. This also would depend on how much volume you were looking to add.
If there isn't enough fat stores then, perhaps you would need to have gluteal implants instead to achieve your desired final results.
I hope this helps and wish you the best!

Thank you for your question. There is not a specific age, but first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Kind Regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Your age by itself will not prevent you from having a BBL safely or achieving lasting results. Your general health, genetics, exercise habits, dietary habits, weight, and candidacy for the procedure must be considered. Most plastic surgeons prefer that the BMI be near 30 and a stable weight maintained for several months prior to the surgery to lower the risks of complications during and after surgery and to provide maximum results.
