Can you safely have a BBL if you have a gluteal fat lipoma on your butt cheek?

Question

If I have a quarter size fat lipoma on my butt cheek, will a BBL be safe? What will happen to the lipoma and buttocks as fat is transferred?

Luis A. Mejia, MD · Answer

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question You can still have a BBL with the lipoma in place, it will not affect the surgery nor harm your results.  If you like, you can have the lipoma removed if it is causing issues at the same time as the BBL.is recommended if you discuss all about the case with your plastic surgeon on the consultation.

Dear Tyson2,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination but a small lipoma probably won't be a contraindication for BBL 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.

Hello and thank you for the question. I don't see any contra-indication to do a BBL in this situation. The lipoma can be dealt with, depending on the size and location. You should seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best.
