How long after a laparoscopic hysterectomy do you have to wait before having a Brazilian butt lift?

Question

I'm almost 32, 5ft 3in, 165lbs. Would love to have curvy but and hips! Doctor days it takes 6 wks to heal from a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I would get clearance from your OB/GYN and remind your plastic surgeon of this, but I usually recommend about 3 months as an adequate amount of time to heal from an uncomplicated laparoscopic hysterectomy.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear mellieperk,
you should be fully healed before you consider another surgery. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to wait 6 months. But every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello! Thank you for your excellent question!
First of all I think that is very important to know what was the main problem that led you to have a hysterectomy, also, many patients that have this procedure usually had anemia and the hysterectomy itself could have caused some bleeding and before thinking of having a liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks it´s very important that your hemoglobin levels are normal. So it´s not just the healing of the tissues but also to recover and be in excellent health. I would suggest that you wait at least 6 months and if everything is ok then proceed with the brazilian butt lift. Remember rule number 1 is safety first.
Be sure to discuss with your gynecologist about your wish to have a BBL and discuss also with your plastic surgeon your health issues to make sure the risk is at minimum.
I hope you find this useful, wish you the best

Every doctor has their own protocol. The length depends on the the overall situation of your hysterectomy.  On average, most plastic surgeons wait anywhere between 6 weeks to 3 months prior to considering surgery for a patient.

Danielle Andry, MD · Answer

I agree that you should wait at least 6 weeks for an elective surgery, if not longer.  It is important that any underlying anemia or reasons for the hysterectomy are addressed and that your OB/GYN releases you for an elective procedure.  It is important to focus on your safety and perform the procedure when your body is ready.
