insurance plan. Most cosmetic procedures are seen as non-life-threatening and are categorized as elective surgeries. However, most doctors do accept financing.
6. There’s Potential For Staged Procedures
Since fat injections are recommended in the subcutaneous plane alone – not within or deep to the muscle layer – this may limit the amount of fat that may be safely injected in one surgery. It may take a few surgeries to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome to lower the risk of complications. Staging the procedure would be considered a safer approach by limiting the injections in the subcutaneous plane and allowing the tissues to stretch between surgeries to achieve a greater final volume.
7. Aftercare Is Important
Just to give you some insight, most patients will need to stay at a recovery house or with a professional caretaker for at least 72 hours after surgery. Full recovery could take several months. Patients should minimize how much time is spent sitting or lying on the buttocks during early healing, which may reduce pressure as the fat establishes a new blood supply.
Other patient factors, including comorbidities like diabetes, connective tissue disease, certain medications, and smoking status may also affect wound healing and final results.
8. There Is A Risk Of Mortality
The risk of mortality associated with BBL is 1/3000, which is significantly higher than other plastic surgery procedures. Research has shown that mortality associated with BBL relates to fat injections performed within the muscle layer, leading to damage of the gluteal veins and resultant fat emboli.
