Breast reduction and upper blepharoplasty surgery 1 week apart?

Question

I wanted both procedures but done by different surgeons. I want to take a leave from work at the same time. Can I have these two procedures done a week from each other?

You will need to speak with your surgeons about timing as opinions may vary.  Typically you'd want to have more time between procedures but your surgeons may be okay with it based on your health history and surgical plan.  You may want to explore having your upper blepharoplasty performed under local anesthesia which could help in your situation.

Absolutely. Breast reduction surgery has one of the highest rates of satisfaction of all cosmetic surgeries. As we always say that all surgeries carry the risk of complications. However, breast reduction surgery is considered very safe. The recovery process is also very easy. Upper eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia and it's a very simple procedure. One week between these procedures is sufficient time. Best wishes.

Namaste pardeepkaur,
I understand your query. Yes both surgeries can be done a week apart. It is not a problem. Please do put this info across both the surgeons especially the second surgeon and anesthesiologist so they can provide you better care. Hope this helps. Thank you for the query here

Thanks for your question! It's better to leave more time between anesthesia, but if neither of your doctors have any concerns, then I don't see why not. Be sure to let both of them know. Good luck!

Dear pardeepxkaur,
you should be fully healed prior to another elective procedure. 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.
