Hi..is it okay to have breast reduction surgery 6 weeks after having ab/back liposuction?
Answer: Timing between abdominal liposuction and breast reduction. These procedures could and frequently are done at the same time to decrease cost and allow you to recover from both all at the same time. If you wish to stage the procedures, I would wait 4-6 weeks to allow your body to recover prior to having the second procedure done. Your surgeon would be in the best position to know your overall health and be able to advise you the safest way to proceed.

Answer: Timing between surgery I don't see any contraindication for you to proceed with your breast reduction as long as you feel you have recovered from your last procedure.

Answer: Timing between surgeries As long as you have healed normally and not had any complications with your liposuction, you should be completely fine to proceed with your breast reduction surgery.

Answer: Waiting time between procedures Your procedures are commonly done at the same time under the same anesthetic. But if you were dong them separately and was in my office, I would have no problems proceeding a week later... once it was clear that you did not have any complications from the liposuction.

Answer: Time between procedures These procedures could potentially be done as a combined procedure on the same day. Otherwise I would wait until you have recovered from the first surgery which can take a month or longer. I would recommend waiting until you felt up to it.Ultimately though this is a question best asked of your surgeon. There are many opinions about what is the best way to approach this and doctors will often differ in their advice based on their experience, and the techniques they use in performing the procedures. To give you the best advice on would also need to examine you to see if there is anything about your particular situation that deserves a more tailored treatment plan.
