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.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

You want to wait a minimum of 6 weeks between elective exposure to general anesthesia. It takes 6 months to 1 year to fully heal from a surgery. You should check with both your OBGYN and PS to make sure you are following instructions and everyone is comfortable with the time frame.

there are a few different factors to consider. Since leper scopic surgery affects mostly small skin incisions very little impact to the fat layer and mild impact to the muscle layersyou don't need to be healed fully to undergo liposuction. I Deleigh the skin incisions should be healed enough to not be at risk for opening. Six weeks should be plenty for this. Since there is very little scar tissue through the fatty layer from laproscopic surgery this layer it should not be impacted from your laproscopic assisted trans ago all hysterectomy. The muscle layer he heals quickly and should not be an issue.  Plastic surgeons will vary substantially and their level of comfort and recommendations. It wouldn't hurt to ask your OB/GYN what their recommendation is since they did the first procedure.  Realistically you could probably have a BBL within a week or two but what's the hurry.  Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
