How long to wait before getting a tattoo after fat transfer surgery?

Question

It has been 3 weeks to date since I've undergone a brazilian buttlift surgery. I also had 390 cc breast inplants put in. I want to know how long i should wait before getting a tattoo, more specifically on my left rib.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I would recommend to wait at least six months before getting a tattoo, your body is still healing. If you have any concerns, I suggest you follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Hi ileinam, thank you for your question. Please reach out to your plastic surgeon directly regarding his or her advice about getting a tattoo post surgery. Enjoy your new results!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I think that it is best to ask your surgeon what his opinion is.  In general, I would want to make sure that you are healing well before undergoing any additional procedures( tattoo included).
