After Massive Weight Loss, Safe To Have Breast and Lower Body Surgery At Once? What Are My Best Options?

I had gastric bypass and have lost 135lbs. I am only 32, I'd like to wear a bikini.I've received 3 different opinions.One told me he would not do my breasts in one surgery. He would do a lift then implants because he did not want the blood supply to my nipple to die. The 2 other doctors said they would do everything at once. I want to have a lower body lift, "build a but",breast lift w/ silicone implants. Is this safe to do in one surgery? Also,is fat grafting going to give me a decent rear end? If I Get a Butt Through Fat Grafting Will the Results Be Permanent? Is a Brazilian Butt Lift the Same Thing As Fat Grafting?

Multiple Procedures at Once following Masive Weight Loss

Having a body lift at the same time as a breast lift and augmentation is a standard surgery to go through after massive weight loss, as long as the patient is in good health. The surgeon who wants to wait to do your augmentation at a second stage is being as conservative as he can possibly be. We normally do not delay the placement of the implants unless there is a health issue. It is very important that you see your primary care physician for clearance... more

Some surgeons are comfortable doing this at once, and some think that safety and the outcome are better in their hands when the two procedures occur separately. This does not mean that either approach is necessarily "right" or "wrong". With regard to the procedures you are considering,... more

Breast lift/augmentation

The combination of beast lift and insertion of implant at the same time increases the risk of interfering with nipple areola circulation. That risk is small and many surgeons will do it togwther.
