Breast Aug & 2wk later vagina mass removal

Question

Hi, I want to get my boobs done. I’m removing my old implants and going bigger. However I also need to have a mass removal on my left labia. Minor according to GYN/ONC and it’s an 1hr case. Non cancer. So can I get boobs done and two weeks later the second surgery or other surgery first and two weeks later breasts? Why 2weeks? It’s PTO time I’m trying to use and combine time off. Thanks!

You just have to okay it with your surgeons and I see no reason there would be any problem. I’m sure it will work out just fine

I feel as long as your revision breast augmentation with larger implants does not require much capsule work, then you will be safe after 2 weeks to have the labia procedure performed.
Best wishes,

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Two weeks is not enough time between the two procedures because of the risk of infection to your implants from your vaginal surgery. You need 6 to 8 weeks between them.

Richard P. Rand, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

The vaginal surgery poses a higher chance of bacteria in your blood stream because it is a less sterile surgery. Therefore, this can increase risk to new implants placed only 2 weeks before. So, I think it wiser to do the breasts second. Just my opinion.
