Will having an abortion effect my BBL surgery? Should I reschedule?

Question

I just found I was pregnant a week ago and I'm scheduled for an abortion tomorrow. My bbl is scheduled for June 26th, Will I be okay to have surgery or would it be better to push back my date?

Ultimately this decision needs to be between you and your plastic surgeon.  If you were my patient I would have you wait 6- 8 weeks.  Certain hormonal changes in pregnancy can make complications more likely.Best of luck!

Having had an abortion by itself would not be a contraindication to having the BBL.   This depends upon the nature of the abortion, the postoperative course, the point during the pregnancy, the relative weight gain, etc.  This must be evaluated on an individual basis by your OBGYN and your plastic surgeon. If there are no complications after surgery, 3 months after surgery may be a reasonable time period. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Regards,
Pregnancy causes changes in the body like blood clotting and in other systems, which represents a greater danger of presenting, for example, pulmonary thromboembolism, which can be fatal. It is recommended after an abortion, to wait at least 3 months before performing any type of surgery, including plastic surgery. Remember that the first thing is your health.
I hope the information was usefull, have a nice day! Dr Carlos Alberto Ríos.

Thank you for sharing your story with us.  We're are always happy to help you with your surgery.   After an abortion you'll need to take a couple of weeks before having a BBL.  Your organism needs to be normalized and we recommend to have that period for recovery.

Greetings. This is something to discuss with your surgeon. There would need to be some follow up labs and a recovery period before the BBL procedure. The timing would need to be coordinated between your plastic surgeon and the recommendations of your gynecologist. Best wishes.

If you were my patient I would recommend that you put at least 6 weeks between the abortion and your BBL. You should ask your PS what he/she recommends.

Brazilian Butt Lift is an ELECTIVE procedure. Make sure your health is optimized before undergoing the procedure. A prudent and well-trained plastic surgeon will make sure that your hCG levels are back to normal and that the pregnancy has been confirmed as terminated prior to surgery. You also want your body to get back to baseline before introducing another stressor, surgery. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. Having an abortion in itself is not a contraindication to having a BBL. However, your recovery is important and could affect the second surgery.  I would suggest not having a definite date for the second surgery but rather a tentative date assuming that  your recovery goes well. Once your abortion is done then consult with both your OB GYN and your plastic surgeon to make sure that your blood levels are normal and you recovery is smooth and there are no unresolved issues before you go into the second surgery. Good luck.

Hello, good afternoon, thanks for your question. I recommend you to wait at least a couple of months, because maybe after the abortion your hemoglobin levels will drop, ask your primary doctor and surgeon to see what can be done.
