Can you get a breast lift and BBL done at the same time?

Question

Is it possible to get both procedures at once ? If not why ?

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Although some surgeons may say it’s okay, please understand that the recovery period would be quite difficult. This is because with a breast lift, you wouldn’t be able to rest on your front, and with a BBL, you wouldn’t be able to rest on your back. Depending on where the fat is harvested, you may not even be able to rest on your side. Therefore, it would be difficult to sleep.

Scott W. Vann, MD, FACS · Answer

It is very common in plastic surgery to do multiple procedures in one operation. Most of my surgeries accomplish multiple procedures in one sitting. I having done breast lifts or other breast procedures the same time as a BBL. For safety concerns we always limit total surgery time to 5 hours for an outpatient procedure so it must fit in this space of time. Consult in person with plastic surgeons who do a lot of these procedures. Many do not do BBLs. Good luck.

Dear noemiduhhh,
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.

I would not do both at the same time for you will have problems trying to sleep. For my patients who get BBL's, I instruct them to avoid sleeping on their backs for 3 months.

If you are healthy, then you should be fine to have a breast lift combined with liposuction and BBL procedures.
