How long do I have to wait to have a breast reduction after a BBL?

This will depend upon your overall health, and the healing involved.  If you would like to separate them, 6 weeks to 3 months may be appropriate, but the plastic surgeon performing your BBL is in a better position to advise you.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. With staging procedures, I usually recommend patients wait at least three months between surgeries to allow time for healing and recuperation. However, with the buttock fat transfer, your surgeon may not want you lying directly on your buttocks for that extended period of time for reduction surgery, but you need to discuss that with him or her. Regardless, the timeline you have set out (about 6 weeks) is not enough time and I would not advise this.Best of luck!

Dear Tali's Tail,based on your information, there would be a 40 days period between two surgeries. In my opinion, that wouldn't be enough time for the body to fully heal from the first surgery (BBL). It can take up to 6 months for a body to fully heal after a BBL surgery. You should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for more information. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for your question. It is best to heal completely from your BBL surgery before getting the breast reduction. It can take up to 6 months for your body to recover completely from the first surgery, although some patients heal faster than others. Best is to follow your specific surgeon's instructions aand see what he or she recommends. You may be able to have the breast reduction surgery after 3 or 4 months from having your BBL. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Congrats for the wedding and wish you the best.The time recommended after a BBL it's 6 to 8 months, so the body is healed.Hope this could help :)

How long do I have to wait to have a breast reduction after a BBL?
How long do I have to wait to have a breast reduction after bbl? I'm having bbl June 12, when can I get a breast reduction? I'm getting married September 30 and would like to have it done the end of July, would that be okay?Great Question!!The Medical board in the state of Florida has a very defined requirements to maintain a physician license.  For an elective in office procedure, the board restricts liposuction to one liter of supernatant fat removed form your body if you combine liposuction with a breast reduction.  Usually, one liter of fat is not enough of a volume change to make a great BBL result.  In the state of Florida, I would recommend you have the BBL first followed by a second procedure with a breast reduction if you want a big dramatic buttock volume change.  Due to the large surface area involved with 360 lipo and the large amount of energy required to heal, I would suggest a good 3-6 months for the reduction.If one liter is ok with your expected BBL result then you could combine the procedure together at same anesthesia session.
I recommend you have an in person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable with.  Please seek a plastic surgeon certified by the American Medical Association or the American Osteopathic Association.  I would check for hospital privelages with peer review quality monitoring systems in place.  Review their online results, patient testimonials, patient performance reviews, seek a surgeon who has done tens of thousands of BBL procedures and who specializes in the aesthetic surgery 100% of time.
I wish you well through your surgical journey toward your goals,
