Hello, Can exposure to thirdhand smoke for around 8 hours the night before BBL cause complications? Non-smoker, no exposure to secondhand smoke, no previous exposure to thirdhand smoke. 15 months out. Very little fat survived. Necrosis. DVT (had other procedures done at the same time). Thank you.

Answer: Can thirdhand smoke affect results from a Brazilian Butt Lift?
I don't think it would. The real killer of fat after BBL is prolonged pressure - usually from sitting or laying. A routine amount of bending over should not be a problem.
You would need to discuss this your PCP and also have a pre-op appointment with your anesthesiologist. While, I would assume you can get the surgery but might need it done in a hospital setting with significantly larger resources
It is technique based. Negligence is a very strong word that I would not use. Some spots can be very tricky and burns can happen in even the most experienced of hands (though this should be uncommon).
