Can a patient with lymphedema have a BBL? Or if their feet swell occasionally?

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without knowing your medical history, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.

Dear Namzie3,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

It’s not quite that simple.

The bigger question is why do you have a lymphedema?

Do you have blocked lymph nodes from cancer surgery or trauma?

Do you have congestive heart failure?

Why is your body swelling?

Do you have a lymphatic malformation?

I suggest having a few in person consultations to see if you’re a candidate for this procedure at which time you can share your form out the history.

You may also want to talk to your primary care doctor about this

Best,
