Is it really safe to do a labiaplasty and BBL at the same time?

I do not recommend them being performed at the same time if significant liposuction is going to be performed in your abdomen. The fluid and blood from the liposuction can descend into your labia and genitals causing marked swelling that can interfere with the healing and final result from your labiaplasty.

In addition, I caution about getting any gynecologist to do a labiaplasty as many are not trained to do it, which can result in a severely botched labiaplasty. I invented the central wedge labiaplasty surgery in 1995 and only reported the seminal article in the plastic surgery literature in 2007. It is also known as the "V" or wedge technique. Gynecologists and most plastic surgeons perform a labiaplasty very differently. They essentially turn the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) and leave a long suture line instead of the normal labial edge. Their technique is the same whether a scalpel or a laser is used. In contrast, I remove triangles of tissue and bring the normal edges together. Thus, the normal labial edges, normal color, and normal anatomy are preserved, but the darkest labial tissue is usually removed. If you have extra tissue on your clitoral hood, I can reduce it at the same time. My technique is performed with magnification to ensure an accurate approximation of the normal labial edges, whereas the other technique takes 15-30 minutes and results in a linear scar as the labial edge. That scar can cause chronic discomfort and aesthetic disfigurement.

Your clitoral hood may also be reduced at the same time.

Above all, choose an experienced surgeon as over half of my surgeries are for reconstructing women who have been botched by other doctors.

Thank you for your questionI would be very suspicious of a facility that is suggesting doing these procedures together. I would suggest you investigate the"on site" gynecologist . You need to do your homework and investigate all your surgeons looking at their before and after photos and their reviews. Many surgeons are doing labiaplasty who are poorly trained and the results can be disastrous. Look at all the questions on RealSelf of botched surgeries seeking help. See the video below to start to learn about labiaplasty.FINAL ANSWER--DON'T DO IT

You can have a labiaplasty and BBL done at the same time however I suggest if you do a labiaplasty and BBL at the same time that you have an experienced cosmetic gynecologist. Most surgeons would suggest having them done separately.
