Had 4 Brazilian Butt Lift procedures, 2 breast lifts, and planning on another bbl round - am I at risk?

Question

I had 4 bbl procedures . 1st one was botched work which the surgeon that performed it tried to fix another 2 times . 4th one was with a different surgeon as my body was a complete mess . She did tell me I will need another one to have a perfect body ( close to perfect ) . I had 2 breast lift procedures also in between bbl procedures. So every year since 2018 I would have a bbl. 2021 -2022 I had two breast jobs .I’m 7 days post op breast surgery. Planning bbl in 2 months .can I die ?

Well, it does not sounds like the first four rounds BBL have turned out so well for you so here is what i have to say about yet another attempt at BBL.

You are in good company with many others who had high hopes for BBL but instead received disappointing results (lumpiness, unevenness, lack of projection in the central and/or lower buttock, post-deflation sagging, etc.). It is not quite as much the quality of the doctor but rather the quality of the procedure that is a large part of the problem.  Thus, going back for round 2 BBL (#5 in your case) most often produces the same disappointing results but at another financial loss.   Buttock implants indeed provide a more reliable, predictable, relatively safe, and permanent result, especially for adding projection to the buttock and often smoothing out lumpiness.  Occasionally a lower buttock tuck may be advantageous for lower buttock fold asymmetries and/or sagging. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants so be sure to consult with one that is reputable and experienced. Unfortunately you may have to travel long and far away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Dear Good868933,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You should be fully healed prior to another 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.

Without posting photos very hard to offer advise. It would be best to do a virtual consult with an experienced revision plastic surgeon. With a detailed chronology of the surgeries in order.
