Can I still get a Brazilian butt lift if I’m experiencing muscle spasms (twitching) in my buttock?

Dear KianaVee90, Thank you for your question. And this is not a contraindication to perform a BBL. Of course before everything you should get a check up. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks! Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear KianaVee90,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You should be able to get a 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, thank you for your question. This should not prevent you from having a BBL, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Can you post the state that the spasm is not painless. I have a feeling you meant that it’s not painful. Regardless the BBL could potentially stimulate more frequent spasms but other than that it should not be a contraindication for having a BBL.

Make sure that you’re otherwise a good candidate for this procedure and as always be highly selective of which plastic surgeon you choose by interviewing as many as possible with in person consultations.

The following as a general recommendation to get the best outcome.


Avoid traveling long-distance for elective surgical procedures.

Rely on in person consultations.

Schedule multiple consultations with surgeons in your area who have a good reputation for the procedure you’re interested in.

During the in person consultation to ask each surgeon to show all of their before and after pictures of the procedure you’re interested in. The goal is not to see the best results of their career but to see what average results look like and get confirmation of how many of these procedures that surgeon has performed. Ideally the surgeon should be able to find before and after pictures of patients who are very similar body shapes and contours to your own.

An experienced plastic surgeon should have an abundance of before and after pictures. A highly experienced plastic surgeon will have several hundred or even thousands of before and after pictures for each procedure.

Read all the reviews on various physician review websites avoiding providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews.

Organic unmanipulated reviews tend to follow fairly equally among different review websites. Those with an excessive number of positive reviews on a single website may be a telling sign of aggressive marketing.

The presence of justified negative reviews can be more important than an abundance of positive reviews.

Don’t schedule surgery during the consultation.

Give yourself time to think about important decisions like permanently and irreversibly changing your body.

When in doubt slow down and schedule more consultations.

The outcomes of this procedure are all over the place based exclusively on the skill and experience of the surgeon.

Best,
