Can I Get Laser Hair Removal Before or After my Breast Augmentation?

Question

I'm planning on doing 6 sessions of laser hair removal (full bikini area). I was wondering if I should wait a certain amount of time to do this before or after my surgery?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I would recommend breast augmentation and then laser hair removal, unless these two items are separated by a few weeks.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question.

	You will likely do well either way.  A “waiting time” before or after surgery is not necessary.

	 Best wishes.

Thanks for your question Kay. I prefer patients have any other operations or medical interventions after breast augmentation surgery. Inflammation around hair follicles could serve to increase the risks of surgery. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

The laser hair removal and augmentation have little to do with each other. staging them is a great idea

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Hair removal procedures are pretty benign for the most part. If concerned, you  may want to do the last one before surgery about two weeks prior to your procedure.
