Hello, I I am needing some surgical tooth extractions, dental implants, and veneers. I would also like to have a BBL and possibly a tummy tuck. What I'm wondering is, would this be safe either before or after my dental work? Would a week be enough time in between? Trying to kill two birds with one stone since this is an international trip. Thank you!

Answer: Is it safe to have dental work before lipo/tummy tuck? Yes, it is safe (and probably a very good idea) to take care of necessary dental work prior to the plastic surgical procedures. Also probably a good idea to give yourself more than one week in between the two procedures, just to be safe.I would encourage you to make your decisions carefully; medical tourism although certainly cheaper, may not be the safest way to proceed. Select your plastic surgeon based on the quality/safety record. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work and preferably communicate with some previous patients as well. Make sure you also consider factors such as follow-up and treatment of complications that may occur, even in the best of hands. Best wishes.

Answer: Can I have dental work done around the same time of my plastic surgery? Thanks so much for your question. It is safe to have multiple procedures done within a reasonable period of time. You just want to use common sense and make sure that you're fully recovered from the first procedure prior to starting another recovery process. As long as both providers are OK with things I think it's a reasonable plan to have multiple things done within a period of time so that all of your recovery is finished prior to returning to normal life activities.
