I am healthy and in good shape with low blood pressure and a resting heart rate of 55.. I am having two cosmetic procedures done, face lift and breast augmentation, by two different cosmetic surgeons. How long should I wait between procedures?
Answer: Breast Augmentation, then face lift! Hello! I have frequently performed both of these procedures at the same time and it would be safe in my opinion, especially with your excellent health status. When combined procedures are done the net operative time is LESS than the sum of doing the surgeries separately. Unless your facial surgery is being performed by someone with limited training, who is not skilled in the full spectrum of plastic surgery, I would look into a combined operation. As I have already stated that it could be done at the same time, then I would think no wait time would be required. In terms of the order, I would do the breast augmentation first that way if the anesthesiologist needs to put a mask on you for that part of the surgery, it will not touch a freshly operated area (your face) as would happen if you did your face first. If you insist on two surgeons, see if they can work together at the same operation. *Opinions stated here are only opinions. They are not based on a clinical examination which is recommended.

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Face Lift While these 2 procedures can often be done together, in your case, I would suggest doing the breast first and the face 2-4 weeks later especially if you use general anesthesia. Christian Drehsen, MD

Answer: Wait time between face lift and breast augmentation Thank you for your question and congratulations on your upcoming procedures. I would recommend waiting three months between procedures. This is to allow full healing before undergoing your second procedure. Talk to your surgeons about their specific recommendations.

Answer: TIme I would wait at least 2-3 months between surgeries. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon
