I am getting a tummy tuck, BBL & lipo done Wednesday July 15. Can I get a lip filler before my surgery?

Thank you for sharing your question and best wishes on your upcoming surgery.   I would have your lips done either during your procedure or at a week after.  Hope this helps.

Dear Versatile431152,
generally speaking, you should be able to get lip fillers before or after surgery. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Although the TT and BBL can be performed under local anesthesia, these procedures can be extraordinarily painful for the patient.  The patient's pain threshold and anxiety level should be taken into consideration.  You want the most dramatic transformation possible, and you also do not want to be in pain during the procedure so that the surgeon must stop the procedure or do less than what is necessary.  If you move or tighten your abdominal muscles, you may compromise results. 
If your surgeon is an expert in TTs, BBLs, lipo, and lip fillers and can complete all of these in less than six hours, you can combine all the surgeries into one.  

There is no restriction to do fillers during surgery.Actually I do fillers during the surgery to take advantage of the anesthesia and prevent my patient to suffer of the pain. Just have in mind my patients get Peridural anesthesia and sedation in a 100% of the body procedures. So no intubation. Dr. Cardenas

I would recommend waiting to have lip filler until after your tummy tuck.  With lip injections the lips can swell and this can persist up to two weeks.  As you will be having general anesthesia for your tummy tuck, the anesthesiologist will be using masks and other equipment around your mouth.

I would suggest doing it after surgery. When you have surgery the anesthesiologist will be working around your mouth and you don’t want them to put extra pressure on your new lip filler. After surgery you will have some pain medications and your anxiety level will be lower. It will be all around easier time to have lip filler.Best of luck! Dr. Boschert
