Combining Lipo 360 with BBL and breast augmentation

Question

I am scheduled to have bbl with breast exchange from saline to silicone. My question is does this mean they can only remove 1L of fat. I called the coordinator and she said my dr. Can remove 4L. He’s triple board certified. Should I just cancel the breast augmentation and go with lipo 360 and BBL. Please help me figure this out. I’m 5’3”. 170lb BMI 30. I thought combo surgery is only 1L. (I learned this after I booked my app). I need more than 1L for noticeable diff and I know some cells die.

Based on the existing law in State of Florida when liposuction is done together which another surgical procedure ( like  breast augmentations, exchange of implants, breast lift,TT) only 1 liter of fat can be harvested and used for fat transfer to buttocks. Any well organized plastic surgery office will inform you about that fact before signing you for surgery. Maybe that is a warning sign to reconsider where to do your surgery? Good luck.

Hi! Thank you for your question. The amount of fat your surgeon can safely remove varies based on individual factors, including your overall health, body composition, and the surgeon's expertise. Generally, 1 liter is a safe amount for a BBL combined with breast augmentation, but experienced surgeons may be able to safely remove more, like the 4 liters your doctor mentioned. Since you are aiming for noticeable results, discuss your concerns further with your surgeon to understand the risks and outcomes. It's important to ensure your safety, so consider whether to proceed with the combination surgery or opt for separate procedures.

Dear charna s,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.
