Is it ok to get chin lipo and buccal fat removal 6 weeks before 360 lipo?

Question

Is it ok to get chin lipo and buccal fat removal 6 weeks to getting 360 lipo? I don’t want possible face swelling from bbl to affect my cheeks and chin lipo results. Thanks!!

Thanks for your question. Yes it is possible, although i would recommend to get everything done together in one surgery. having combination of procedures is always cheaper than getting them separately, plus you get the additional benefit of having just one recovery period.

Hello. Great question. Yes, it should be okay to have chin and buccal liposuction before 360 liposuction. However, I will suggest having all procedures performed during one surgery in order to avoid undergoing anesthesia and recovery twice.

It is okay to get chin lipo and buccal fat removal six weeks before your liposuction 360 procedure. Nevertheless, I don't see a reason why you should be able to do everything at the same time.

Mysterywoman I do not see any reason why you cannot have chin and neck liposuction with buccal fat pad removal at the same time as your other procedures. Recovery from a BBL has no effect on procedures performed on the face. Confirm my advice with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Dear themysterywoman,
some plastic surgeons will tell you to wait until you are fully healed. Others might recommend you to do all procedures at the same time. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
It is best if you combine these procedures, to avoid undergoing anesthesia and recovery again. I suggest to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, to discuss the best options for your goals.
Good luck :)

Thanks for the question. Whereas this is a lot of surgery to go through, it can be done without any concerns medically. Good luck .

It should be fine to get liposuction and buckle fat removal before your BBL it.  Swelling does not have any impact and final results.  The amount of facial swelling after a BBL is pretty modest and it would not really change how chin liposuction was done.  Another option is to have the procedure is all done at the same time.  That's probably how I would approach it.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
