Can I get a BBL and Breast Augmentation at the same time? (Photo)

I recommend doing the breast augmentation and BBL at separate times.  After a breast augmentation, patients recover on their back whereas in a BBL, patients will lie on their tummy after surgery.   I would discuss the timing of the surgeries with your plastic surgeon.

I recommend staging these two procedures as safety is a priority.  Also, you will be on your stomach for the injection of fat which may interfere withy our breast implants, and vice versa for the buttocks.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

It is technically possible to do both a BBL and Breast Augmentation at the same time and you might save a little money by combining procedures; however, you should look at the long-term picture and determine if this combination is right for you.  As others have stated you won't be able to sit or lie down on your back side for approximately 2 weeks after BBL because the added pressure will damage the transferred fat cells and compromise your results.  On the other hand you won't be able to lie on your stomach or sides right after a breast augmentation.  This leaves you in a tough situation unless you can sleep standing up.Based on your pictures you don't appear to have much extra fat so a dramatic change for your BBL might not be possible in the long run.  Butt implants might be an option to consider.  I recommend you have several consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons who have a lot of experience doing the procedures you are interested in.  Make sure they have your best interests as the top priority and choose the surgeon you feel comfortable with.

you should google complications from BBL.  you will see there have been some very serious complications from the procedure.  But even without these complications the results are poor and a waste of money.  Also, you are thin.  Where will they get the fat from?

Thanks for your inquiry, if you are in good health, I see no reason why you could not have the procedures together. Good luck.

Great question!  In this particular instance, for best results, you should have these done separately due to positioning.  With this combination, both the front and the back side of your body is being treated so there is really no way for you to lay down without potentially causing issues.  You definitely do not want to lay on your breasts after a breast augmentation surgery and you also don't want to lay on your butt after a BBL otherwise you can create contour deformities and the pressure will cause more of the fatty tissue to die off.  You also don't want to lay on the sides if fat is transferred to this area.  So although technically you could have these procedures done together, I advise patients to do them separately to have the best results.  Best of luck and hope this information helps!

These two procedures can be done together if the patient is a candidate and in good health. Doing them at the same time will save some money and you will have only one recovery time. Be sure to select a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Thanks so much for this question.BBL and breast augmentation can certainly be performed together. However, you should take notice that breast augmentation is considered a low risk operation while BBL is considered a high risk operation. Combining the two operations will give you an overall higher risk profile and might increase the complications around your breast implants, such as, capsule contracture which would have other wise been lower risks with just the augmentation.Having said that, if you want to combine both then having the surgery performed by an experienced surgeon in both operations will be critical to lowering your risks.  

Thank you for the question and photos. BBL can be combined with a breast augmentation. The recovery maybe a little difficult however many patients get it done. It is best to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Dear lmperea,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.
