I will be getting spinal fusion and decompression in January of 2016 and would like to know how soon I would be able to get breast implants and a Brazilian buttlift following the procedure. I would like my stomach, back, arms, inner thighs, and pubic mound to be liposuctioned. What is the average cost for a procedure such as this and would there be a difference in cost if I received both procedures in one visit?
Answer: Speak with your spine surgeon This is a question best answered by your spine surgeon. However, I would encourage you to not rush into further surgery without giving your body plenty of time to heal from your fusion surgery. And you will need to let your plastic surgeon know about the spinal surgery so that he or she can be very cautious with positioning your back during your surgeries. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: How soon after spinal fusion and decompression can I get breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift? I would suggest that you run your initial question by your spine surgeon. If I were you, I would be very conservative not rush into plastic surgical procedures that may involve positioning changes in the operating room. When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well. In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Answer: How long to wait IN my patients, I would wait about 3 months after spine operations and obtain approval from the spine surgery for such a procedure. Be sure to discuss with your own surgeon about how this applies to you, and whether they have any special concerns in your case.

Answer: How soon after spinal fusion and decompression can I get breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift? Thank you for your question. Because of the complexity of spinal fusion and decompressions, it would be best to seek clearance from your spinal surgeon before entertaining any other surgeries. Once cleared, see ASPS board certified plastic surgeons for consultations on your breast augmentation and BBL. Price will depend on what specific procedures are needed to obtain your results, as well as the anticipated amount of time it will take in the OR. Typically combining procedures is cheaper than performing the procedures independently as each incremental hour in the OR is cheaper from an anesthesia and OR facility fee point of view. Hope that this helps.
