Can I still get a BBL if I had an abortion 21 days before the procedure?

Question

Hello, Looking for real answers other than “please consultant with your Plastic surgeon”. Can you proceed with a bbl if you had a abortion at 5weeks? Procedure is in 21 days exactly. Please advise. Share your opinion or protocol. What are the risk factors?

Hi, thanks for your question. I would probably recommend at least six weeks just to be on the safe side,  but the best people to consult would be your OBGYN and the plastic surgeon that will be performing your BBL. Every surgeon will have their own pre and post-operative guidelines that you should follow carefully. Also both your OBGYN and plastic surgeon know the specifics of your case in detail and will be able to give you the best advice.

I would consult with my Plastic Surgeon and OBGYN doctor. 5 weeks after an abortion seems early on the face of it, both physically and emotionally to take on 4-5 hours of surgery. You have to also be psychologically ready to deal with any complications that may occur as well as have good family support before and after the operation. I hope that helps.

Hello, thank you for your question.. If you were my patient I would recommend that you put at least 5 weeks between the abortion and your BBL. Always consult with your OBGYN and your plastic surgeon.

Dear taylor5200,
most plastic surgeons will probably do the surgery 3 weeks after abortion but every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello dear!! 
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Please talk to your primary doctor to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals. 
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
