Thank you for sharing your question and I hope your rehab after hip replacement is going well. I would speak to your orthopedic surgeon about timing, but most likely you would be safe at 6 months after surgery to pursue a tummy tuck and BBL.
I applaud your ambition to follow a hip replacement with cosmetic surgery to really get your groove back, but it’s impossible to evaluate how soon you’ll be ready for a tummy tuck and a Brazilian butt lift. Your orthopedic surgeon needs to assess how you’re recovering from hip replacement, sharing any relevant information with your board-certified plastic surgeon. While it’s tempting to kick the walker to the curb and give your body a reboot with plastic surgery, you should be fully healed and recovered before you bring sexy back. This could be 6 months or more. Best of luck to you.
I think the most important opinion about this will come from your orthopedic surgeon, but it would probably be a great idea if your plastic surgeon gave him or her a call to discuss some of the particular details of the operation. Things like positioning on the operating table, lift and transfer positions, and safe areas for injecting fat graft for the BBL, taking into consideration what approach was used to perform your hip replacement, should probably all be agreed upon by the two surgeons. With this information, your orthopedist should be able to give really good advice to you and your plastic surgeon about the timing of your body contouring procedures and any other things he or she might recommend to ensure that your operation is carried out safely and without causing any problems with your new hip joint. Best of luck!
Thank you for email. You need to get an approval from your orthopaedic surgeon before embarking upon tummy tuck. Tummy tuck is an elective operation and you should ensure that your orthopaedic surgeon, plastic surgeon and the anaesthetist are happy in regards to your recovery and mobility following hip replacement surgery.With very best wishes,
I would ask your orthopaedic surgeon when you could consider plastic surgery and ask him and your PS to liase so that you can get the most appropriate advice.
I do not use compression or binders after tummy tuck until the wounds and flaps are stable at one month. If the binder is tight before then, it will collapse the veins. If the veins are collapsed, then there is no outflow. If there is no outflow, there can be no inflow. No inflow from the ...
This situation is not common. I would suggest to remove the piece of drain that was left inside, which can cause an infection. Contact your surgeon to discuss this matter.
These procedures can be combined provided you are healthy enough and prepared for the recovery. I encourage you to ask very specific questions regarding post procedure care to make sure you have a good understanding of what your limitations will be during recovery.
