2 surgeries: how to maintain BBL results between 2 surgeries & recoveries?

Dear Melxx101,
I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area. Your BBL results should be final 6 months after surgery.

Hi! This is Arzu from Dr Cner Kacmaz Clinic. After your bbl surgery you cant sit during 1 month so it is not good to do the both surgeries at the same time you have to wait like 2 moths to have the breast augmentation surgery after the bbl

I see no reason why you should wait 6 months between those two surgeries? Depending how much liposuction is anticipated, one could consider doing both procedures in the same time? However, if major liposuction and fat transfer is planned (2-4 litters), 6-8 weeks between two surgeries should be enough. Hope this helps.

I think you’re making things more complicated than they actually are. I suggest slowing down the train a bit and start by having the procedure. Do you think it’s going to be most helpful. Take your time to recover then consider second procedures.
You should be able to have breast surgery within a few weeks after BBL without compromising your results but I see no need to rush the decisions.
The two most important variables are patient’s candidacy for surgery and provider selection. I suggest you focus your efforts and understanding of those two variables, because they’re the ones that determine long-term satisfaction.
I suggest patients you begin the process by having multiple in person, consultations with local plastic surgeons in your community.
During each consultation, you can discuss your candidacy for the procedure, as well as recovery, and the implication of having second procedures.
When, in doubt, slow down and schedule more consultations.
Best,
