I am having breast augmentation and arm lipo separately with two different surgeons. The reason is that the surgeon who would do my BA (trans-ax, saline, subfascial) refuses to have lipo on upper arms because he said there is too little fat and might end up with irregularity. I decide to have lipo with another surgeon, but I don't know how should I schedule these two procedures to ensure good results, maximum safety and avoid complications? Which procedure first and how many days apart?

Answer: Subfascial Is Subglandular Hello,There is no ideal wait time between procedures; when your feel physically ready you can proceed. More important to discuss: you present photos of women showing soft upper poles of their breasts (which you've specifically remarked about), but you've opted for saline implants over the muscle. 'Subfascial' is a concept that is unproven, and even if it is actually obtainable, provides no more coverage of the implant than sub-glandular. Properly selected implants placed in the sub-pectoral position will provide a much more natural look, and will have a low risk of implant dynamic motion. Finally, the transaxillary approach has a higher risk of capsular contracture than via inframammary incisions. Rethink your plan for a great result that is long lasting.

Answer: Waiting time Dear llxx, most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait until you are fully healed from your elective procedure before you get another surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
