BBL with breast augmentation: Let me know what you would do?

Hello karleesteel,
Thanks for your questions! I would recommend you getting a 4D Hi-Definition VASER Liposuction combined with fat transfer procedure for your buttocks first, and breast augmentation implants afterwards. Based on my experience, after performing fat grafting to the buttocks you must avoid sitting or sleeping on your back for a couple of months or else the desired outcome will be negatively affected. Putting pressure on your bottom by sitting down or laying on it during the recovery period can stiffen, deform and even kill the transplanted fat cells. On the other hand, if you get a breast augmentation procedure done at the same time, you’ll be required to sleep on your back and thus it will compromise your results.  Sleeping on your abdomen may cause problems with your breast surgery as well.   Hence, it wouldn’t be suitable to get all the procedures performed at once. Do not add more procedures to your initial surgical plan based on the cost.  Your best option would be to have the VASER lipo and fat transfer procedure done prior to getting the breast implants and wait a period of at least 3 months between surgeries for recovery purposes. Kind regards! Dr. De La Cruz.

Getting both procedures done at the same time is possible but would result in a difficult recovery period.

Dear karleesteel,yes, they can be done together. I would perform the breast augmentation first to reduce the risk of contamination and then proceed to the butt lift. Do you have areas of fat to use for the butt lift? The goal would be to keep the duration of the operation to less than 6 hours. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
