Developing septic shock after BBL is rare but can happen. It sounds that you had a bad infection " necrotizing Fasciitis?".However that is not a contraindication to another surgery like breast augmentation provided:1: enough time has lapsed since the infection and all wounds healed.2: you need to be in best medical condition. with clearance for surgery by family physician and possibly by infectious disease specialist.3: Choose the right surgeon, Board Certified plastic Surgeon, who is available to you all the time. and4: surgery to be done in a hospital or accredited facility.5: To be done in a your town where the Dr. Has privileges in a major hospital with access to all specialties6: do not go out of the country for the surgery

Is is reasonable to consider further elective surgery given your previous experience. I recommend you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and perform the procedure at an accredited hospital based facility. Be safe!
