Is It safe to get a Brazilian butt lift following a hip fracture in 2018 and a numb hip? (Photo)

Question

Hello Doctors, a little backstory. So I fractured my hip in a car accident and had to get a metal piece place in, in 2018. However my hip is still numb a little. My doctor told me it’s because my nerves in my hip hasn’t come back yet. It has been 2 years now. So I wanted to know if a BBL will be safe even tho I can’t feel anything in my left hip. My goal is to get more hips. Thanks for any response. Thank you.

Dear alicia305,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get BBL surgery after hip fracture. 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.

Most likely you can have a BBL. The scar tissue from your trauma and surgery may limit the ability to expand the skin at least immediately adjacent to the scar.The procedure could be technically slightly more difficult because of your injury and you could potentially be at risk for complications. Overall I don’t think this should hinder you from having the procedure. I suggest you have a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with the BBL procedure.The procedure could be technically slightly more difficult because of your injury and you could potentially be at slightly higher risk for complications.
