How Long to Wait Between Surgical Cosmetic Procedures?

First of all, I would agree with the surgeons who stated that most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons are capable of performing both the liposuction breast reduction and fat transfer to the buttocks, and it makes the most sense to both at the same time. This way you are not wasting any fat that is being aspirated, and you can have one surgical procedure.
That being said, it appears that you seem convinced that you will get better results by having 2 different surgeons perform the procedures. Have you asked them if they could coordinate your surgery so both could be done at the same time?

If you are healthy, there is little risk to having two surgeries several days apart, but I am confused, why are you going to two different surgeons, and why have you chosen liposuction as your breast reduction technique? For many reasons, this is not a standard approach to safe and aesthetic reduction in breast volume. Most, if not all surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery can and do do breast reduction surgery. Not all have adopted fat grafting to the buttocks as a commonly done procedure, also for a variety of reasons. However, you should be able to find one surgeon who is experienced with both procedures; it should not be necessary to have two different doctors for this surgical combination.

Hi there-
This should be safe to do, depending on the amount of liposuction done in the initial procedure.
Please be sure both surgeons are certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.(the particular board is VERY important)..
ANYONE can claim expertise- this credential must be EARNED.

there does not appear to be a contraindication to having both procedures done 4 days apart. If, however, you do not feel well during your few days of convalescence, give your body a chance to heal more and delay the fat injections.

Liposuction has been used for breast reduction but is only of use if the excess breast tissue is composed mostly-entirely of fat (which is not always the case) and the skin is sufficiently elastic to shrink after liposuction. This skin only exists in younger patients who incidentally have more breast gland tissue than breast fat tissue. It should really as the sole means of breast reduction for smaller reductions that health insurance commonly does not cover. In fact many health insurance policies specifically state that they do not cover breast reduction by liposuction alone.
Immediately would mean right afterwards but it appears you plan on having the fat grafting 4 days later. The question is: Will the second surgeon use the first surgeon's harvested fat or will he/she get it from elsewhere on the body? The survival rate of the fat will be significantly less if you put it in the refrigerator and inject if 4 days later although some surgeons have reported doing so and getting good results. I personally do not see the need for that as you can just liposuction the fat from one area and minutes later inject it into another area of the body for the best survival rate.
There is something amiss about a plastic surgeon specializing in the buttock and another in the breast. Any plastic surgeon who is experienced with free fat grafting is obviously experienced with taking that fat out by liposuction from other areas of the body. If you saw a few plastic surgeons in consultation and only one was willing to do this liposuction breast reduction I would probably not have that surgeon do the procedure if I were you. There are increasing numbers of doctors out there who say they specialize in one procedure like liposuction and do nothing else other than that procedure whatever it is. On closer inspection you will find that their training is lacking or they are not plastic surgeons. That may or may not be the case here as you posted question is short on details.

It is certainly possible to undergo the procedures 4 days apart. Depending on how much fat you are having removed from your breasts, it can be grafted to your buttocks. However, it generally does not do well if injected beyond 2-3 hours.

Liposuction is a pretty painful procedure. Most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons can do both well. When someone specializes in one thing only, then they may not be a Plastic Surgeon. However, apart form the pain, it is difficult for your body to undergo two operations in tandom. My suggestion would be to do both together with a Board Certified Plstic Surgeon, or to wait 6 to 12 weeks in between till you are more comfortable.

If you desire liposuction of your breasts and fat injection of your buttocks, it sounds like the best thing to do would be to have the two done by the same surgeon in the same day.

Even though the liposuction is done under local anesthesia, it’s still surgery. I highly recommend giving your body at least a week to recover. Make sure both of your doctors know what you are having done and when.

If you are going to have limited amount of liposuction from breast( the works better in younger patients with no breast sagging) then you can have the fat grafting any time that your doctor feels comfortable.
