I had Diep Flap breast reconstructive surgery 2 years ago. Am I a good candidate for a BBL?

Asked By:RICHMOND VA4689 in RICHMOND VA

I had Diep Flap breast reconstructive surgery 2 years ago. The procedure required me to have a tummy tuck, but no liposuction was performed. I was left with dog ears and excess fat around my abdomen. I am interested in getting corrective surgery, I want liposuction with fat transfer to buttocks. I want to know if I am a good candidate considering the type of reconstructive surgery that required the connection of blood vessels. Would this be a problem having liposuction to my abdomen?
