Buttock augmentation with breast implants not recommended

Hi, Thank you for your quesiton. It is not recommended having a butt augmentation and breast implants at the same time. It is ideal to have the patient lay on their stomach for two to three weeks after butt augmentation surgery as to not put any pressure on the butt. Sitting is allowed, but not for long periods of time. As for breast augmentation surgery, it is best to rest on your back to not put any pressure on your breasts for at least two weeks or when you feel comfortable. If you find... more

I don't recommend brazilian butt lift and breast augmentation at the same time

I do a significant number of buttock fat augmentation or Brazilian butt lifts. This requires harvesting of fat from the whole midsection and sometimes from the thighs as well depending on the size of the patient. I have my patients sleep on their "stomach" for 10-12 days, no sitting for that time either except for using the bathroom. It is important not to crush the freshly transplanted fat which needs to be vascularized by the surounding tissues before it can withstand the... more

Brazilian Butt Lift with breast procedures

I do a lot of Brazilian Butt lifts, and several of them are in combination with Tummy tuck, but have shied away from combining it with any breast procedures.

Follow your plastic surgeon's instructions

This will depend upon a number of factors and only your plastic surgeon can give you the proper instructions. Your post-op breast instructions depend on the placement of the implant above or below the muscle, type and size of implant, etc. I tell my breast augment patients I want them up walking the afternoon of surgery. The instructions for buttock augmentation depend on the technique used. Discuss these concerns with your plastic surgeon at your pre-op appointment. Dr Edwards... more

Postoperative restrictions after simultaneous breast and buttock augmentation

This varies tremendously on the surgeon and the technique. Some surgeons use the so called "Rapid Recovery" regimen following breast augmentation touted by Dr. Tebbets in which some patients are even encouraged to sleep on their stomach. However, this is not widely encouraged by most plastic surgeons. Furthermore, patients are frequently reluctant to do so even if instructed to do it. In regards to the buttocks, it also depends on implant versus lipoinjection techniques. It would... more
