Am I able to get a BBL after botched HA butt fillers? (photos)

Question

I decided to get hyaluronic acid fillers in my butt (did not want anything permanent) but unfortunately got an infection and now have a nice scar on one cheek. I do want to get a BBL but I’m scared any doctor will turn me away. I’ve got discoloration from the inflammation as well. Should I try and get it dissolved? Is it even possible to get a BBL to reconstruct my butt?

It may take some time for this wound to heal and close on its own. Few months after, one should consider surgery that would include scar revision and moderate augmentation with fat grafts. Additional surgery, at least 1 year after first,  may be needed to achieve more symmetry. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in fat grafting but also reconstructive surgery is recommended. Good luck.

Dear Jadedstunna,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, if you don't have infection you might be a candidate for 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.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

I do many "botched" BBLs. You are not that difficult to improve. The issue is do you have any fat? Please connect with me. I will send you a private message. Fee in the $10,000 range.

Infections can happen from just about any injection for treatment.

You’re not a candidate for a BBL while currently being treated for an infection. I suggest having a few in person consultations when you’re well healed up and about six months have gone by.

You need to give the scar tissue that forms after inflammation about six months to mature before considering surgery in the same area.

The fact that you’ve had one previous infection does not mean you cannot have a BBL.

I suggest scheduling a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons once you’re healed up.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
