I fainted 4 days post op BBL after showering and woke up on my back! Will that kill fat cells or deform my shape?

Question

I fainted 4 days post my bbl surgery and woke up on my back , as soon as I was conscious I flipped over but I’m assuming I woulda hit the floor hard when fainting . How much effect would that have on my newly transported fats.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

Ravinder Jarial, DO · Answer

Greetings. In general, the shape should not be an issue. However, there is a concern as to why you lost consciousness. As a precautionary measure, you should follow up with your plastic surgeon as soon as possible for evaluation. Best wishes.
