Can I get a BBL procedure 30 days post op from Chin/Arm Lipo and Breast lift?

Question

I am scheduled to get chin/arm lipo and a breast lift on August 15th 2025. And scheduled for a BBL on September 25th 2025. Is this dangerous?

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Thirty days after chin/arm liposuction and a breast lift is usually a very short interval before a BBL. It is not automatically unsafe for every patient, but it can increase concerns about anesthesia exposure, blood clot risk, wound healing, swelling, anemia, infection risk, and the practical difficulty of recovery positioning after a breast lift and BBL.
If the dates are correct, August 15, 2025 and September 25, 2025 would be about 6 weeks apart, not 30 days, but the same principle applies: the second surgery should only proceed if you have healed well, your surgeon has examined you, your labs are appropriate, and there are no wound or circulation concerns. If there is any delayed healing, increasing pain, drainage, redness, fever, shortness of breath, calf pain, or unusual swelling, the BBL should be postponed and you should be evaluated promptly.

Dear SuperDuperOne1,

you should be fully healed prior to another elective procedure.  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.

Providing that nothing was done in the areas where fat needs to be harvested from (abdomen, flanks, back) and that your health condition is satisfactory, you can have BBL done 4 weeks after above mentioned procedures. Good luck.

Most plastic surgeons are going to put your face down in a prone position for the BBL procedure.
We typically don’t do that until patients are recovered after breast lift surgery.
You should communicate this with your providers.
Best,
