I had butt shots in 2013. Will I be a good candidate for a BBL?

You may be a good candidate for a BBL, but you need to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon to make a proper determination. One thing that must happen is the removal of the illegal product, and replacement with fat. This is often done in scenarios like this one, and is well-tolerated by most patients.

Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately this is hard to judge without a physical exam. I am assuming there was liquid silicone/some other polymer injected? Many times there are nodules and scar tissue that may compromise a fat grafting operation such as a BBL. The best first place to start would be an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. They will be able to do a physical exam and guide you on your options, including possible revision/removal of any pre-existing material/polymer followed by a BBL. Good luck on your journey!

Dear Sensible266710,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your query. I am not sure what those “illegal but shots “ were, but the most common injections for buttock augmentation are with Sculptra which help build up your own tissues. These are approved by FDA although the amount of tissue build up is modest. However, if your tissues are soft and you are thinking about a BBL, you are probably a good candidate. Pictures can be helpful. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Thank you for posting your question here !My answer will be based on the limited information provided , for a detailed and personalized plan , I would recommend that you consult with your plastic surgeon.
When it comes to your previous shots , it will depend on what was injected , I don't think that it will prevent you necessarily from getting a BBL in the future but if you had foreign man made material (silicone for example) you will have an increased chance for complications such as irregular contours, infections etc.I hope this helps, best of luck!
