If you have not had your breast augmentation, you could combine the procedures. If you already have had your augmentation, I would suggest 2 to 3 months between procedures if you need to placed on your stomach/prone to do the liposuction.
The length of time between surgeries is dependent upon your medical history and ease of recovery from the first surgery. I usually like to wait approximately 6 weeks in between surgical procedures for my patients. Again, the decision is up to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to ensure your safety.
We usually like to wait until you're feeling well and the breasts have softened and settled enough for you to comfortably lay on your stomach if necessary for the back/flank liposuction. For some women this is as short as 2-3 months and longer for some women. It really depends on how you're feeling but in most cases, surgeons would wait around 3 months. However, if you opt for CoolSculpting instead, that can be done 2-3 weeks after surgery. I hope this information helps you out. Best of luck!
When a patient has multiple surgical procedures requiring anesthesia, various factors influence the amount of time needed between surgeries. Generally, smaller procedures can be timed closely together; 3 months is a common interval. Recovery in general is an important issue: patients should feel well, without residual pain, and have resumed a normal activity level before undergoing second procedures. Also, different procedures are associated with varying degrees of expected blood loss, so a blood count may be needed prior to having another surgery. In addition, there may be specific considerations; for instance, with breast augmentation, patients should generally wait three months to have additional surgery, or even dental cleaning, because there is a slight risk of circulating bacteria infecting new implants. Bottom line: discuss timing of multiple procedures with your surgeon to determine what is safe, and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan for you. As always, don't be afraid to ask questions. Good luck.
If you are staging your surgery there are no proven rules about time between operations but I would suggest 3-4 months as a minimum
Breast augmentations are often combined with an abdominoplasty and liposuction. This combination is common aftern childbirth, and therefore coined a "Mommy Makeover." Doing the procedures together saves time and money and allows you to go through just one recovery. If you wish to space out the operations, however, many surgeons prefer to wait several months between surgeries.See the link below for more info. A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.
I appreciate your question. These procedures can be combined together. If you prefer to stage them, I would recommend that you wait 6 months between surgeries. This will allow you body adequate time to heal and recover.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Thank you for your question. If you have not already had the procedure, in our practice we often combine these procedures to produce beautiful overall results in our patients. If you still desire to separate the surgeries, we often advise patients to wait at least 3 months in between surgeries. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so you may be evaluated further, discuss your surgical options, address your goals and work together to create a surgical plan that best helps you achieve the overall look you desire.With kind regards,Lane F.

Most patients will do these procedures at the same time in order to have one surgery, one anesthesia and one recovery. Obtain a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss these options and timing in further detail.
If you are planning to do all the procedures, I would do them at the same time. Otherwise, I would do the liposuction first and then wait at least 3 months prior to the breast augmentation.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
Your breast shape is described as "tuberous breasts". This means the nipples are large and the breast itself is about the same diameter (width), whereas the breast width is normally significantly wider than the width of the nipple. You have done nothing to cause this, it is a...
Judging by your before photo you had the same gap between your breasts then and the surgeon must centre any implant on your existing breast which in many women is located more on the slop of their chest leaving quite a large gap - if you bring the implants in more you leave the nipple and you...
It looks more like a reaction to the tapes or steristrips . Leave all tapes off at this stage to rat the skin and see your doctor if things are worsening
