How long after chin lipo and implant can I get buccal fat removal?

Question

I would like to get chin liposuction and implant with one doctor and buccal fat removal with another. How long do I have to wait in between procedures?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. I recommend you to wait at least 7 weeks between your procedure, always schedule your consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Ghadaiay,
you should be fully healed prior to another surgery. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait at least 6 months between procedures. 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.

There’s no need to have any significant time between the procedures though it might be nice for you to see the results of one before committing to the other.

Buccal fat removal is done intraorally and this surgery will not impact the Liposuction or vice versa.

By six weeks you’ll have a good idea of what the liposuction results will look like.

Each  surgeon will have their own view so you should ask your surgeon what his or her opinions are.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
