Breast Augmentation and Hysterectomy same time?

Hi there: There are two issues to consider: 1. Are the operations compatible? Ie will having the hysterectomy increase the risk of a breast complication or vice versa.  Theoretically if good appropriate antibiotic cover is used during the Surgery, and the surgeries are done separately with separate setups, this risk - of implant infection - should be low. Otherwise, no reason I can see that technically they can’t be done together.2. Your plastic surgeon and gynaecologist both need to work at the same hospital and be prepared to schedule a combined case.  This is a logistical issue for you to work through - talk with your Plastic surgeon.If it can be organised, it makes sense to me!All the bestHoward WebsterPlastic Surgeon

Hi Emr, I dont recommend combining the surgeries. This would increase your risks associated with the surgery including DVTs. You should allow at least 6-12 weeks of recovery between the surgeries and ensure your surgeon is happy with your recovery before having another procedure.

We recommend spacing elective surgeries that use general anesthesia at least 30 days apart. Personally, I would not combine gynecologic and cosmetic procedures under the same anesthetic.
