If I want to get breast implants & lipo at separate times, which one should I do first?

Question

I want to get both done in a 3 month period, but I'm not sure which one to do first.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

It's a personal decision that only the patient can make. In our Practice we combine these two procedures quite often (provided a patient is a good candidate). I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

Hi there! Normally I would suggest doing the breasts first, as the recovery is a bit longer and more involved than the recovery from liposuction. But usually its the patients preference on which procedure is more of a priority to get done first! Hope that helps and good luck with your surgery!

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
Either procedure can be performed first but I would recommend to start with Liposuction, and then to undergo Breast Augmentation surgery.
I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Dear melrivs22,
you and your plastic surgeon should make a plan of procedures. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

If you don't want to do them together, then do the liposuction first since it is less invasive, and do the augmentation a month later. Otherwise, you may need to wait 2-3 months before getting liposuction.
