Is it okay to get dental work and a BBL with Lipo in the same week?

Question

I am getting a crown replaced, along with a cavity fillings, and Liposuction and BBL in the same week, is this ok? I just found out i needed dental work this week.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

From your description of the dental work, it appears that all procedures (crown replaced, cavity filling) are cosmetic and not medically necessary. You might consider postponing them until you have recovered from the lipo and BBL. I do not think that one week between the dental procedures and the BBL is adequate. I also recommend that you ask your oral surgeon how long you should wait after the dental work to have a BBL. Because oral health is related to your overall health, be sure that your mouth has healed so that you are able to eat a healthy protein diet prior to and after BBL.

Dear Reserved65194,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. I would not recommend doing a dental procedure during the same week as your elective cosmetic surgery.

I suggest you schedule your dental work before your BBL so you’re not sitting on the grafted fat in the dentist office and having a dental procedure immediately after having Liposuction.

As long as you do the dental work first it should be fine.

I suggest you run this by your plastic surgeon.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
