What procedure would be ideal for a patient who has sickle cell disease but wants Lipo 360 and a BBL?

Question

What other options are there that are minimally invasive but equally effective?

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Ladeluck,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You might need to get a clearance from your surgeon. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Seek out a body sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Sickle cell can have lipo360/BBL surgery if Hb above 11.0 in blood tests. If the HB is chronic low then surgery can not be offered. Non Surgical BBL is with Sculptra or Radiesse or combination. These injections are rather expensive and would need multiple sessions to obtain acceptable results. The costs would range in the $20,000++ ranges. A full written clearance from the hemotalogist would be required, btw.
