I Know Hemoglobin levels have to be up therefore I was wondering would it be ideal to scheduled your BBL surgery before your period start, After or During it? I plan to take the Iron Vitamin C and B-Complex recommended but still would like to know whats recommended or if this would make a hug difference in safety and/or recovery process.

Your menstral cycle should have no impact on your procedure.  It is very common to have plastic surgery around this time.

Dear slimthick1986,if you don't have other medical issues, then menstruation cycle should have no influence on your surgery. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Having your period during the BBL will not be a problem.  In an otherwise healthy person without anemia or other consuming disease, there is usually nothing that needs to be done such as taking iron, Vitamin C and B-Complex..  The HgB does not have to be artificially elevated for surgery. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Having your period during your surgery will not be a problem.The most important are the results of your pre op tests. 
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
  
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question. Your menstrual cycle should have no impact on your BBL. Bes sure to discuss with your surgeon what is and is not recommended before surgery.

As long as you are healthy your menstrual cycle should not affect your hemoglobin enough (if at all) to influence your BBL results or recovery. It is perfectly safe and will make no difference if you are menstruating or not. Good luck with your procedure!

The most important factor to determining your ultimate results is to choose a high defintiion liposuction provider who will guarrantee you 40% more fat harvest which will inevitably result in a more robust buttocks.

Generally speaking, it won't make a difference.  As long as proper pre-operative work-up has been done and you have been deemed a good candidate for surgery, the timing of the menstrual period won't have any effect.  Would be best to inform your surgeon of any changes in your health prior to surgery especially if there is any in-between your for-up and scheduled dat of surgery.Make sure you have a thorough consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in this procedure. Check her/his experience, credentials, reviews, before and after photos, and have a quality consultation.  There are many surgeons including myself who do virtual consultations as well.
It is preferred for your surgeon to be member of "American Society of Plastic Surgeons" and ideally member of "American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery". This means they have been evaluated by the society and recognized that the focus of their practice is high volume and quality, honest aesthetic plastic surgery and they adhere to a code of ethics.
All my best,
