I'm currently scheduled for a combination breast augmentation and BBL surgery in March but am curious when it would be safe to have another facial surgery afterwards, a mid-face/cheek lift and endoscopic brow lift. It would involve another round of general anesthesia. Thank you!
Answer: Generally 6-12 months is safe- defer to the BBL/Breast Aug Surgeon first Hello and thank you for your question. In short- every surgeon's practice is different. Generally, most surgeons would wait at least 6-12 months between these different types of procedures to allow things to settle and heal to a reasonable degree before the next operation. Ultimately, even though it would be safe to perform the next surgery after this time from an anesthesia and risk profile perspective, I would defer to your surgeon who performed the BBL/breast augmentation procedure to see how long they want you to wait before the next surgery (they might have some preference based on their aftercare preference to make sure things fully heal properly from their surgery before subjecting you to another operation- e.g. for prolonged positioning restrictions etc). Everything ultimately comes down to surgeon and patient preference, so always have the conversation with your surgeon(s) so you both know exactly what to expect, and so you both feel comfortable with how the procedure(s) will be performed and the timing of everything prior to proceeding. I hope this helps!

Answer: 6 weeks is standard Following any type of surgery, there are typical time points of healing. After one month, your risk of blood clots (VTE or venous thromboembolism) decreases significantly. After 6 weeks, you will be 80% healed from your original procedure. It takes about one year for scar maturation and the remainder of the 20% of healing to occur. That does not mean that you cannot have additional procedures within this year. The generally recommended time period for time between surgeries is at least 6 weeks but most surgeons will wait at least 3 months between procedures to ensure appropriate down time and minimizing edema and other issues from your original surgery.

Answer: 2-3 Months As long as you have recovered from your first operation – which can take up two or three months – then you should be then ready to have another operation.
