During a recent Instagram Live session, Dr. Thomas Pane, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Atlantic Coast Aesthetics, was asked a number of questions regarding Brazilian butt lift procedures. One in particular interested Dr. Pane because it’s a common question, and also because it speaks to a serious safety issue which too many patients are unaware of. User Karla With the Pretty Eyes asks, “Can I get a BBL after silicone injections to the buttocks?”
The short answer, Dr. Pane says, is “It is possible.” The trouble, he added, is that while it’s possible to have a BBL or other cosmetic surgery after silicone injections, it’s not necessarily a good idea.
Many patients who want quick buttock augmentation results but worry about the expense of implants vs. silicone butt injections turn to the “alternative” method to help plump and shape the area.
The trouble with receiving silicone injections for this type of butt augmentation is that the FDA has not approved any silicone injectable fillers for use in the buttocks, cheek augmentation and so on. One reason for this is because there is a robust body of study concerning silicone implant technology and what patients can expect from it. Another is because there is currently no medical grade injectable silicone filler, which is a very serious concern. Dr. Pane is only one reputable board certified plastic surgeon out of many, such as Dr. Kenneth Benjamin Hughes, MD of Los Angeles, CA who have published literature and commentary in an effort to warn people against utilizing the services of people claiming to use injectable fillers for augmentation purposes.
