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.

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.

I don't think that there are any really good studies to show when it is safest. You definitely can have your second surgery in 4 days. However, I generally do not recommend this for elective surgery. It is generally not recommended to have prolonged periods of immobility after undergoing surgery due to the risk of blood clots. A second surgery definitely fits into the category of prolonged immobility.
I usually recommend 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on how much was done during the first surgery. Your body needs several weeks to complete the healing process from the first surgery and to regenerate blood cells and proteins and healing factors so that it is ready to heal after the next surgery.
As far as transferring fat from the breast to your buttocks, I would be VERY cautious!!! There is no way to know how many breast glandular cells are being transferred along with the fat. Therefore unless you are planning on getting Mammograms of your buttocks, it could be a very risky thing to do.
