Will a BBL survive after biopolymer removal surgery?

A BBL can sometimes be done after biopolymer removal, but fat survival depends heavily on the condition of the tissues after the foreign material is removed. The main reasons fat may not survive well are scar tissue, chronic inflammation, infection risk, poor blood supply, residual biopolymer, contour defects, or a space that was disrupted too much during removal.

In many cases, it is safer to treat this as a staged problem: remove as much unsafe material as possible, allow the tissues to heal and soften, then reassess whether fat grafting is appropriate. Imaging, operative findings, skin quality, and donor fat availability all matter. If the area remains firm, inflamed, infected, or poorly vascularized, adding fat too soon may lead to poor take, lumps, oil cysts, or more irregularity.

Hello there ! This surgery should definitely not impact your BBL results as it is performed with fat graft.

Hello @My Surgical Journey, thank you for your question. To answer your question, it's best to avoid fat grafting and silicone removal at the same time. This is due to a variety of considerations which can affect the results of the procedures such as fat dying or the risk of infection. It is advisable to wait 3 to 4 months to have a gluteal lipo molding procedure after the biopolymer removal. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Great question. Posted photos would help...I offer revision of bio polymer or illegal silicone injected buttocks. Survival of fat is more based on your type of donor fat, metabolism, the buttock beed for blood supply. I do ALL under ultrasound guided injections. Fee $6,000. Best to virtual consult with...

Your question is a bit simplistic and lacks context.
Consider having multiple in person consultations for local board-certified plastic surgeons. If you already have a chosen provider then I suggest follow up with your provider.
Best,
