Can I do Liposuction for multiple areas after 2 weeks of having Breast Reduction surgery (only 2 cup sizes)? Or I have to wait more? Thank you.
Answer: Liposuction after BR Thank you for your question. It is recommended to wait at least 6 month when you are complete it healed from the previous procedure to have another one. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Breast reduction surgery and liposuction you need to make sure that depending on which body sites undergo lipsosuction, that your surgeon is not recommending post operative garments that would interfere wtih the support garment you should be wearing after the reduction. You should also be feeling very good without tenderness and you should not feel restricted in breathing in deeply after your breast surgery while undergoing liposuction, so make sure that the appropriate number of weeks go by to make you feel good. Everyone heals at a different rate. There are surgeons who would do all procedures at the same time, but the risk of surgical complications increases with increased operative time so separating the surgeries by several weeks is more ideal for some. Be sure to ask your surgeon how much time would be involved with the liposuction and the breast surgery if you were to consider doing both together and ask if it is safe to do so.

Answer: Liposuction after Breast Reduction As long as the healing is going well, I would consider performing liposuction on different areas of the body after a patient has undergone breast reduction. I would not perform liposuction of the bra rolls but other areas would be fine. Liposuction can also be performed at the same time as the breast reduction surgery as long as the operative time is kept reasonable and safe.

Answer: Timing of liposuction surgery after breast reduction It is technically doable, but I think it is better to wait a few more weeks to allow your body to heal more before having the second procedure. Any surgery is a trauma to your body and I think you need to allow yourself more time to recover.

Answer: Timing between breast reduction and liposuction There are a couple of issues to consider in timing between the 2 operations. Most important is just that you feel good and aren't weak from the first surgery. The other thing is that there may be a slight increase in the risk of certain complications such as blood clots but after a couple of weeks this shouldn't be a major concern.
