A month? Two months? Three months? What's a safe time period to have a breast reduction after a vaser liposuction? I plan to get both done but with different doctors so I have to space them out.
Answer: How Long After Liposuction Can I Have a Breast Reduction?
This will depend upon the extensiveness of the liposuction, your overall health, and the healing involved. I would certainly get the feedback from your surgeons. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Answer: Breast reduction can be done immediately after liposuction of a different area on the body.
I see no problem with a breast reduction immediately after liposuction of a different area on the body provided it is not too extensive.

Answer: Breast Reduction & liposuction
Reduction mammoplasty and liposuction are two procedures that board certified plastic surgeons feel very comfortable performing. I think it is very reasonable to have the same surgeon perform both surgeries. I would ask the surgeon whether the two procedures could be performed at the same time or if the recommendation is for a staged procedure. There are many reasons why certain operations are staged including overall patient health, length of surgery, DVT (deep venous thrombosis) risk, to name a few. Liposuction recovery is very different from person to person and varies significantly depending on volume to be removed and type of anesthesia used. Bruising, pain, swelling after liposuction in some patients may take up to a 6 week recovery.

Answer: Time period between two surgeries.
Since liposuction is often performed at the same time as a breast reduction, I see no reason that you need to wait any defined period. I think you should be fine even a few days after your initial surgery.
