Is It Safe to Have Breast Reduction and Liposuction at the Same Time?

This combination can be completed with the knowledge that you may be at increased risk for DVT. Certain prophylactic measures to decrease this risk may be instituted such as Compression Stockings and Pneumatic Compression Devices. Other risks such as hypothermia are possible as well as numerous other less likely adverse events.

If you are in good health, you should be able to have the operations the same day. There are many variables, (how much liposuction, etc;). Best to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon. Together you will review your goals and see what is possible.

Thank you for the question.

This combination of surgery can be done together assuming you are in good health,  that the extent of surgery ( for example blood loss) is reasonable,  that you are in the hands of a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist in a fully accredited surgery center facility/hospital.

It would be best to break the procedures into two stages if you have concerns regarding the safety and/or aesthetic results of the procedure.

Best wishes.
