How long do I have to wait after a labiapuffing for a BBL?

Question

So I'm doing a minor procedure, labia puffing using fat. But I also want to get a bbl from a different surgeon by the end of this year. Although the labiapuffing is minor, it's still a fat transfer, how long do I have to wait before I can get a BBL done or do I not have to wait at all?

Hello , you do not need to wait for bbl. but it is useful to wait for the wound healing process depending on where the fat tissue will be taken. if you are planning for the end of the year, there will be no problem.

Even though labia puffing is a smaller procedure, it’s still a form of fat transfer &mdash; and both recovery and fat cell survival depend on allowing the grafted fat to stabilize before undergoing another surgery. In most cases, it’s best to wait at least 3–6 months after labia puffing before having a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or any other major fat transfer procedure.This waiting period allows: • The transferred fat to fully integrate with the surrounding tissue • Swelling and bruising to resolve • Your body to recover before another anesthesia and surgical stressDoing both procedures too close together could compromise fat survival in either area and increase risks related to healing. Your surgeons should also coordinate, so the fat harvesting sites for the BBL do not interfere with the prior procedure.If you have a specific timeline in mind, let both surgeons know so they can plan your procedures for the safest and most effective results. I hope this helps!

You can have a BBL right after a labia puffing without waiting. Just be careful that your BBL compression garment doesn't squeeze your outer labia.

You don't need to wait any amount of time after a labia puffing to undergo a BBL. In my practice, we do them at the same time. Just make sure that your BBL compression garment (your faja) doesn't crush your labia majora if the BBL is done less than 2-3 months after your puffing.

There is no need to divide these two procedures since they are very similar. If you still want to have this two done by different surgeons you can do it any time, no need to wait. Hope this helps.

Hello Victoria,
You could have those procedures performed at the same time if you'd like. Since you're having them done by different surgeons and at different facilities the only thing to consider is healing time for the fat harvesting site for the labial puffing. Perhaps this fat could be harvested from a different site than from the BBL if you want to shorten that time period.
Depending on the amount of labial puffing that you are looking to achieve a Vampire Puff would be a good non-surgical alternative.

After a minor procedure like Fat Grafting to Labia, there is no real waiting time needed before having a second surgery.   That is as long as the liposuction performed to get the fat to transfer was minor.
