How soon can I get a breast augmentation after a tummy tuck? (Photo)

Thanks for your question. To my patients, I recommend that they wait at least 4 to 5 months after a tummy tuck before getting a breast augmentation. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, board certified plastic surgeon

Thanks for your question!
You can actually have these two procedures at the same time. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Dear Hurley429,
you should be fully healed prior to another elective procedure. most surgeons would recommend you to wait at least few months. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

These procedures can be done at the same, and often are! If you want to separate them for any reason, I recommend waiting 3 months between procedures. Best of luck to you!

If you must, you can separate the two surgeries by as little as a month, but they should be done together.

These procedures are commonly done together with great results. If you are wanting them done separately you should wait three months between them with normal healing. Your surgeon can advise you further based on your surgical plan.

Assuming you are in good health, have normal blood counts, and have no healing issues, you could have a tummy tuck done as soon as 6 weeks. Most would suggest waiting 2-3 months.

The timing for your breast surgery largely hinges on your tummy tuck recovery. If you don't have any open incisions, experience no complications, and your lab results are excellent with levels returning to normal and hemoglobin exceeding 12, then you may be eligible for breast surgery within just 1-3 months after your initial surgery.
