Can I get leg surgery (osteotomy) 4 months after BBL and thigh lipo?

Question

I plan on getting a BBL and thigh/knee liposuction in July under general anesthesia. Would it be okay for me to get a femoral osteotomy on both legs in November?

Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello @t0101k, thank you for your question. There is always a need to take into account the opinion of the specialist who will perform the surgery before making any decisions regarding the leg procedure. In most cases, it depends a lot on the type of surgical technique and the type of technology used in the BBL procedure. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Providing that your recovery after BBL is uneventful (no infection), it would be possible to proceed with orthopedic procedure 4 months later. However, this is always best to be discussed with both surgeons ahead of time. Good luck.

Dear t0101k,
you should be fully healed prior to another elective procedure. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You should be fine waiting till November to have your second procedure. Always check with your Orthopedic surgeon as well.

I see no reason why you can’t have the two surgeries. I suggest you talk to each of the surgeons doing the procedures.
