Can you have lipo and gastric bypass done at the same time?

Bariatric surgery is a minimally invasive procedure, and doing another type of surgery could bring unwanted complications, I recommend bypass first and then aesthetics

Plain answer no! Both procedures will be too much stress for your body and will take too long, so there is a risk of developing complications. And on top there is no point of doing the lipo and BBL before loosing weight, you wont get the expected result, you will loose fat overall after the bariatric procedure so there is no guarantee that you wont loose the fat transferred for the BBL.

Thanks for you question. Considering that most patients seeking gastric bypass have a quite high BMI, performing liposuction on such patients is ill advised. If you are rather heavy and we remove living fat tissue and put it back into your buttocks, that fat would shrink as your weight decreases. That is ill advised. The performance of liposuction with BBL takes some time. Gastric bypass procedures (in todays environment is very fast (laparoscopic). Increasing procedure time in a very heavy patient is ill advised. So, being quite honest, I would not advise or perform the surgery you describe. All the best.

It is technically possible to have both liposuction and gastric bypass surgery at the same time, but it is generally not recommended due to the potential risks and complexities involved. Gastric bypass and liposuction serve different purposes; gastric bypass is designed to help with long-term weight loss by altering the digestive system, while liposuction is a cosmetic procedure aimed at removing stubborn fat from specific areas of the body. Although they can be done together, combining these two procedures increases the complexity of the surgery and the risks associated with anesthesia, as both require general anesthesia, and the surgery would be much longer. The longer the procedure, the higher the chance of complications such as infection, bleeding, and anesthesia-related issues.
Additionally, each surgery has its own recovery process. Gastric bypass requires time for the body to adjust to significant changes in digestion and metabolism, while liposuction requires healing from the fat removal, with swelling and bruising being common side effects. Combining these procedures can make recovery more difficult, as your body will need to heal from both the digestive changes and the cosmetic adjustments. This can lead to a higher risk of complications such as infection, delayed healing, or increased discomfort.
I recommend doing gastric bypass first and allowing time for significant weight loss to occur. After you have reached a stable weight, liposuction can be done to address areas of stubborn fat. This approach reduces the risk of complications and ensures that you have reached a more stable weight before undergoing cosmetic procedures. Additionally, weight loss from gastric bypass often alters the distribution of fat on the body, so performing liposuction afterward allows for more predictable and satisfying results.

It is better to wait till you reach your ideal body weight then do your plastic surgeries to obtain the optimum and perfect results.

Hello,Thank you for your question!
We recommend plastic surgeries after reaching ideal weight which can take 1-1.5 years after bariatric surgeries. This will be more effective :)

Hi there, I would not recommend having both surgeries at the same time, since after your bypass you will start losing a lot of fat, and this will directly affect your BBL, making you more susceptible to losing all of its benefits in a short time. So I suggest you have a consult with a certified Bariatric Surgeon and wait at least 6-12 months after your Bypass to start doing any plastic surgery procedures. I hope you can find the results you are looking for! You'll do great!- A.L

No, it is not recommended to have liposuction and gastric bypass surgery performed at the same time. The two surgeries have very different goals and purposes. Gastric bypass is a weight loss surgery that reduces the size of the stomach, while liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat from specific areas of the body.
Combining these two procedures can increase the risk of complications, such as infection, bleeding, and blood clots. It can also prolong the recovery time and make it more difficult to manage your weight loss.
If you are considering both gastric bypass and liposuction, it is best to have them done separately. Allow enough time between the two procedures for your body to heal completely from the first surgery before undergoing the second.

Hey! Thank you for your question
The answer is no! This two procedures are done by two different specialist and is not not recommended to do this at the same time.
