Hi, I’ve had Labiaplasty and breast argumentation by two different surgeons and have to have both corrected due to issues. I want to know if it’s better to have them a day or two apart, or two weeks? I don’t want to space them further apart since there’s a 6 and 4 weeks recovery time and I can’t take 10 weeks off work (only 6). Also, which should I have first? Breast is under general anesthesia, labiaplasty under local. So which to have first? And how long between (up to 2w ) ? Thank you
Answer: Sorry to hear… Thanks for your question and sorry to hear you need both revised. There is no reason to not have them both done under one anesthesia and this way you won’t incur the discomfort of the labiaplasty under local. I perform this combination quite often. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Which first Thank you for the question Do the local first so you won’t be uncomfortable for the second under general Time is insignificant but you should be comfortable a week after the labiaplasty so I suggest you do the breast a week after the labiaplasty

Answer: Labiaplasty and BAm reviosion- WHich procedure to have first? HI, I don't think that it makes too much difference as to the timing of the 2 procedures. If you were having both procedures under general anesthesia, it is generally recommended that you wait 6 weeks apart. Since the revision labiaplasty will be done under local anesthesia, the timing is not such of great importance. It is important , however, that you receive antibiotics for your breast augmentation revision at any point in your surgery as the BAM will involve placing a foreign body in you and you do not want to risk contamination from the labial surgery. Best, Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Labiaplasty and breast revision timing Many surgeons would perform the breast revision and the labiaplasty at the same time. But since there are 2 separate surgeons. Which one you have first depends on what your surgeons recommend. Discuss your concerns with both surgeons. I am certain they will suggest the desired order that they consider to be the best to proceed.

Answer: Can both be done togehter Great question. I would perform both operations at the same time, under the same anesthesia (general supplemented with some local). This would be most comfortable for you and condense the recovery times into one. I suspect most surgeons who are proficient in both operations would recommend the same.
