I'm currently waiting on the results of my ultrasound to see if I need to have my gallbladder removed. But later this year I was supposed to have breast augmentation I can't take off twice in one year from work for that amount of time. So I was wondering, could they safely be done at the same time. If so what kind of surgeon would preform such a task.

Answer: Breast augmentation and gallbladder disease Your overall health (ie. gallbladder) is more important to address first. Cosmetic breast surgery could proceed when better or cleared for additional surgery. This is much safer. Good luck.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Breast augmentation with a gall bladder surgery Thank you for your questions. I would not recommend combining these two procedures for several reasons. First, your cholecystectomy will be done at the hospital and combining procedures will increased your risk of infection or other complications, especially can increase the risk of contamination and infection of the implants. Second, you will have much higher cost doing a cosmetic procedure at the hospital vs. doing it at a surgery center at a different time. I don't think you will find a plastic surgeon who would be willing to do your augmentation at the same time with gall bladder surgery for those reasons. Recovery from both is fairly quick, thus I would recommend spacing them apart at least 3 month.
