Is having BHRT pellets inserted contraindicated post BBL surgery?

Question

I had lipo 360 and BBL in May, 2022. I have to start on BHRT pellets again due to severe menopausal symptoms. Is having BHRT pellets inserted contraindicated post BBL surgery? Thank you.

Dear namma,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello @namma, thank you for your question. After liposuction and lipo injection to the glutes, the body undergoes significant changes as it heals and recovers. The recovery period after BBL surgery typically involves avoiding pressure on the buttocks area to allow the transferred fat to survive and heal properly. This process can take up to 12 months and it depends on the patient and the surgical technique applied. It is important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider about BHRT pellet insertion and determine the best timing for the procedure based on your recovery progress. As he or she can provide individualized advice based on your specific medical history and current condition. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Insertion of hormone pellets is not an absolute contraindication and my best guess is the most plastic surgeons would be happy to perform a BBL on you if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Different doctors may have different opinions so I suggest scheduling a few in person consultations to find out firsthand.
To maximize the chance of a successful outcome do you need to get an accurate assessment and begin the process of vetting plastic surgeons and the best way to do that is to have multiple in person consultations.
Best,
