Hello, last year i had a gotten mild injections on my sides of my but and the bottom. I want to get a bbl this spring or summer. Is it safe to do so?
Answer: BBL After Fillers Thank you for your question. The safety of having a BBL depends on what type of butt fillers you had. If you had hyaluronic acid fillers, these products gradually dissolve over time. If enough time has passed and your body has absorbed most of the filler, you could proceed with a BBL safely. However, your surgeon may still recommend dissolving any remaining filler before the procedure.If you received biostimulatory fillers, which stimulate collagen production, the volume you see may be partly due to your body's own tissue. A BBL can be an option, but your surgeon will need to evaluate whether the previous filler could impact fat survival or cause irregularities.On the other hand, if you used any other type of fillers, a BBL may be unsafe. Transferring fat into an area that contains fillers can lead to complications. Most surgeons recommend removing permanent fillers before considering a BBL.If you're uncertain about the type of fillers you received or their extent, you can have an MRI.

Answer: BBL after fillers Thank you for your query. For almost all the FDA approved fillers available now , the answer will be in the affirmative. You can have a BBL procedure without additional concerns. However, you need to let your surgeon know of the kinds of fillers you have had, and also where these were put in so that he/she can compensate for the loss of fillers over the next year or two. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: BBL After Butt Fillers The answer to your question depends largely on the type of filler you had. Temporary dermal fillers can last up to two years, depending on the type of filler used. More permanent fillers can last five years or more.

Answer: BBL fat grafting after illegal injections The long and short of it is risks. There are significant risks of complication with the illegal butt injections that were done years ago. Many if not all of these injectors have been arrested and put in jail. IF you have had illegal injections, my advise is to just be happy you didn't die and accept the fact that most if not all plastic surgeons will not accept the risk of the whole thing going sideways. There are enough risks with health non operated patients to scare many plastic surgeons away from doing BBL's for that reason alone I do not do patients with prior injections. The new wave of legal injections with Sculptra are however safe and able to be treated secondarily. If you have had the injections for years and had no problems, I often will get a MRI to evaluate where and if the silicone will be a problem for you in the future and surprisingly, some patients will turn out to have nothing injected left in the buttocks. IF you have questions schedule a visit with an experienced plastic surgeon in your area.
