Combining Butt Lift and Breast Reduction Procedures?

Despite many of my colleague's remakrs, I think that these procedures can be performed safely together within 5 hours. Many body lift procedures also involve working on the back and front of a patient and can take 6 hours or more. The predetermining factor needs to be your current and past medical health and your risk factors for clot formation.

A butt lift may be combined with a breast reduction, but that is a substantial amount of surgery. Depending on the patient and the surgeon, it may or may not be the right decision. You should be particularly careful to go to the best board-certified plastic surgeon that you can find to help.

Thank you for your question. Yes, this is common, but you will be wanting to sleep only on your sides as everything front and back will be tender for a few weeks. Discuss your goals with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and make a plan. I hope this helps.

I would say NO.  Both these surgeries are complex surgeries and take a long time to complete.  You would be better off to separate these two procedures.
Good luck.

I think this depends on the technique done for breast reduction. For example, many Brazilian Butt lifts are performed with a patient in the supine postiion to obtain fat first. If your breast reduction is being accomplished with liposuction, although this is not typically the case, I see no problem with doing the breast reduction liposuction first and then doing the buttock Injections. If the breast reduction is performed using conventional incisions than I would be very cautious about proceeding.

Hi there-
This is not a combination I would recommend.
Even if you could have the procedures completed in a reasonable period of time and without undue risk to your health, proper recovery from a breast procedure will require you to lie on your back, while proper recovery from a buttock procedure will require a limit to how much time you spend in this position.
Remember that the reason you are pursuing these procedures in the first place is because you want to look your best, right?
It doesn't make any sense to combine them if doing so might mean your breasts or buttocks don't look as good as they could have had you planned them more appropriately.

Hello,

 

I usually recommend people to be wary about combining two larger scale operations in one sitting as expedience might short change you on each. Surgeons who book too much tend to do less surgery in order to get done. If you don't need full version of larger operations it can be possible without such a short changing. Just be careful and express with your surgeon what you want done. Surgery is not like buying a car off a lot with many of the exact same model available and interchangeable.

Assuming you are in good health, a breast reduction and a butt lift can safely be done on the same day. In my own practice, a breast reduction takes less than two hours, a butt lift (brazilian or regular) likewise takes less than two hours. Neither procedure is associated with significant blood loss. That being said, you should take the recovery into account. You will be sore on top and the bottom, and finding a comfortable position in which to rest will be a challenge.

A butt lift is an effective way to change the position and contour of your butt. This can be done at the same time as other procedures including a breast reduction. If receiving this combination, be sure that you discuss the recovery process at length with your plastic surgeon. They may recommend certain positions that you should avoid to prevent placing too much tension onto the incisions. Think carefully about recovery process and if it seems too difficult or inconvenient, consider receiving these procedures separately.
 

It could be done but WHY? These are 2 intense operations on opposite sides of the body. I would separate them by a few months in order to attain that 'great' result. Regards.
