Is it safe to get BBL with Lipoma? Will I develop more Lipomas if i get another BBL?

Hello, and thank you for the question. Safety first. I would advise you to make sure that all the issues that you are describing are well-taken care of before you consider round 2 BBL. This includes treatment of the lipoma, which might require surgery. Also, make sure that you are well-healed and recovered from the fistula surgery, and also that the cause of the infection in your right buttock is identified and eliminated. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Fellowship-trained plastic surgeon.

Dear Dreamy83,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

In general, it is safe to undergo BBL with a lipoma in your buttock. However by your description and which are quite common after BBL, it sounds more as if you may have a fatty necrotic cyst. These usually require excision.

Regarding your consideration for round two BBL, it would be very helpful to view some photos of your current anatomy. That being said, you are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, etc.). It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem. Thus, going back for round 2 BBL most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss. Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.
