Can I get knee surgery the same week as my breast augmentation?

Thanks for your question. I agree with the others who are not in favor of both surgeries being done at a similar time. Theoretically there is the increased risk of infection. More of an issue however is the increased need to use your arms to help support you following your knee surgery. Crutches would be a disaster. Sorry to disappoint. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question.  I do understand your desire to have 2 procedures done during 1 week..  However after knee surgery you may have difficulty walking, may need crutches and recovery from the surgery could complicate your recovery from augmentation mammoplasty.  I would suggest that you stage the procedures.

If the knee surgery is small (i.e. arthroscopy), and if the orthopedic surgeon doesn't think you will have difficulty walking afterwards, it may be possible to get both surgeries during the same week.  This should not be done without the approval of both surgeons however.
