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.
