Can I get a BBL after I was diagnosed with leukemia more than 6 years ago?

Question

And have been in remission since with no health issues. I recently submitted my medical history to a plastic surgeon office and I was emailed stating that I would not be a good candidate for a bbl and 360 lipo because I would be at high risk for blood clots and pulmonary issues. I am great health, I do not smoke, no family history of any disease, and my only issue medically has been when I was diagnosed with Leukemia more than 6 yrs ago. I have not had any health issues since and it was detected very early on, no stages or anything. I really want this.

Dear Ruby_girl,
as long as you are healthy and get a clearance from your doctor, you might be a candidate for a BBL surgery. 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.

You could definitely still be a candidate for a Brazilian butt lift. I would recommend starting with a hematologist, who could help stratify your risk for getting blood clots in the future. Should you be at higher risk, sometimes adding blood thinning medication around the time of surgery  greatly reduces the risk to the point of making the procedure safe.Hope this helps!All the best - Sam Jejurikar, MD

You may still be a candidate for a BBL as long as you receive a medical clearance from your doctor. If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons.  A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
