Is It Safe to Have Breast Augmentation with Vaginoplasty?

Question

I want to have a breast enlargement and Vaginoplasty done at the same time. Is this possible? Do you have any idea of what this will cost in TN?

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

I have performed the combination of both of these procedures.
It is generally safe. As mentioned the primary concerns are infection of the implant as well as the potential for clotting that occurs with prolonged general anesthesia and pelvic surgery. Minimizing risks focuses on antibiotics, operative technique, and DVT prophylaxis

Lane Smith, MD · Answer

Yes, these two procedures can be safely combined, but because of the increased bacterial contamination, there is a slightly increased risk of infection to the freshly augmented breasts. To circumvent any problems with infection, extra antibiotics may be prescribed if these two procedures are combined. Fortunately, to date, we have never had an infection when combining these procedures.

Garrett A. Wirth, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

While it can be technically done and should be relatively safe as a combined procedure, I would recommend that they be done as a separate procedures.

Samir Shureih, MD · Answer

Yes, these procedures can be combined. BUT you have to understand that breast augmentation is clean surgery. Labiaplasty is clean contaminated surgery. Therefore, the chances of infection in your implants is about 10%. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO TAKE THAT RISK?
