Will being a vegetarian affect healing after Brazilian Butt Lift & Tummy Tuck? could it affect the "quality of my fat? (photos)

Question

I have been vegetarian for 10 yrs will this lifestyle affect my healing? And could it affect the "quality of my fat for BBL,TT and lipo?

Earl Stephenson, Jr., MD, DDS, MBA · Answer

Thanks for your pictures. A very strict vegetarian diet(no meat) could be a problem because of the lack of protein. More than likely your healing should be fine. A tummy tuck will serve you well but you do not have enough fat to achieve your desired result. Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS FACS

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

A well balanced diet with complete proteins, independent of origin, will allow for appropriate healing.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts and
liposuction procedures each year.  Look for great reviews and great 
before 
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Judging by your photos, you would be a great candidate for a BBL / tummy-tuck combination. A vegetarian diet should not affect the outcome, as long as you are healthy and consuming a balanced diet.

Mel T. Ortega, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photos. Search for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Base on your photos a tummy tuck would be a better procedure for you now, for the BBL you need fat donor.

you can have a perfectly balanced diet with out consuming animal proteins. Being a vegetarian should not effect your results
