I am petite 4’11”, so I would not require much, just a better shape. I am not on meds for sarcoid. Can a BBL be done with sarcoid? What precautions would be taken in my case? I have had knee ACL reconstruction with allograft in the past and was fine. Thank you
Answer: I have been trying to do a BBL but I keep getting turned down because of sarcoid. I don’t understand why. Hello and thank you for your question. As long as you medical condition is stable and does not cause any functional deficit, you should be able to have the BBL. You will need to get a clearance letter from your doctor. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: BBL candidate Dear Sweethoney80, You will need to get a clearance in order to be a candidate for a 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.

Answer: Elective surgery and sarcoid Sarcoid is very rarely seen in patients undergoing plastic surgery. For that reason, plastic surgeons may be uncomfortable operating on patient with such a condition before medical clearance by your primary care physician and pulmologyst (or some other specialty involved in your treatment and follow up) give a green light. Good preoperative preparation would help your plastic surgeon to make right decision. Good luck.

Answer: BBL and Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis should not prohibit you from undergoing a cosmetic surgery. You, your plastic surgeon, and your primary care physician should coordinate together carefully to make sure that you are cleared for anesthesia and surgery before undergoing any elective procedure.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. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD,FACS
