Lipo and breast augmentation at the same time

3 Minute Read: 

There are many benefits to combining surgical procedures for both the patient’s well-being and wallet. Some of these include having a shorter recovery period (compared to staggering procedures at different times), having a more impressive initial transformation (since different problem areas are being targeted together), and financial benefits (from performing surgeries together). 

While some surgical procedures are great to combine (such as breast augmentation and breast lift surgery, tummy tuck surgery and liposuction, and different facial procedures like facelift surgery and eyelid surgery), others may not be beneficial. One of these questionable combinations is breast augmentation and the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).

What Are the Usual Benefits of Combining Procedures?

There are several benefits to undergoing multiple procedures at once.

Savings

A patient typically saves money when combining surgeries. For example, you only have to pay for anesthesia and the facility once, which reduces cost. Also, some surgeons give special savings prices when combining treatments.

Reduced Risk

A patient risks reacting poorly to anesthesia every time they go under the medication. Combining surgery reduces risk as you are put under anesthesia less often.

Shorter Recovery

When you combine surgeries, you recover simultaneously. This can be extremely beneficial to both your physical comfort and your everyday necessities—like the ability to take time off work.

Impressive Initial Transformation

While not important for everyone, some people love the idea of shocking everyone with an impressive transformation versus a gradual improvement.

Should I Undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation at the Same Time?

While many women successfully undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift and breast augmentation together (usually as a part of a Mommy Makeover), there are additional factors to consider.

These factors have to do with the recovery period—particularly, how to stay comfortable during your recovery. 

Since the BBL requires you to stay off your butt and backside and breast augmentation prefers you to stay off your stomach, there is no right way to rest and relax when both sides are healing. 

Your recovery process is as important as the procedure itself if you want to get optimal results and stay safe, and not being able to put pressure on either your front or your back can make this difficult. 

This is why this combination is often better staggered.

What Are the Benefits of Separating Your BBL and Breast Augmentation?

If you are disappointed to hear that you may not be able to combine your breast augmentation with your BBL, don’t be! 

Both of these procedures provide you with significant results, and you can undergo the second one as soon as you have finished recovering from the first.

While your final transformation may not be apparent as fast, you can feel assured that you will be more comfortable and you will heal correctly.

Lipo and breast augmentation at the same time
Plastic surgery has become a well-known and widely accepted way of improving your physical appearance. The technology and skill for every procedure has advanced greatly in the past several years, and new trends appear all the time. One of the latest trends is combination plastic surgery, in which patients opt for having multiple procedures done at the same time.

How Are Surgeries Combined?

When you consider your body or appearance and find that there is something about yourself you’d like to improve, more often than not you’re looking at a whole area of your body, not just one specific feature. For example, you might look at your face and see that you’re looking older because your skin is looser and getting more wrinkles around your eyes and mouth. Another example is looking at your middle and thinking you could lose the pooch around your tummy.

Combination plastic surgery allows you to correct an entire area of your body at once instead of just one part at a time. A patient can get a facelift and an eyelift, or a breast reduction and a tummy tuck. The surgeon does multiple procedures in the same surgery so that you can be happy with how your whole body looks.

Why Have Combination Surgery?

To get the best results, most patients need to have more than one procedure. This means spending more time in surgery, more time in recovery, and more time in between surgeries, since your body has to have time to completely heal before another procedure can be done. Basically, you’re spending a lot of time waiting to get your desired results. By combining all your necessary procedures into one surgery, you’re saving a lot of time.

You’ll also be saving some money by combining your procedures. Yes, each individual procedure will have its own cost; however, every time you have surgery, you also incur a lot of fees. Those fees add up! With combination surgery, you save money by paying for these fees only once instead of several times.

Are There Any Downsides to Combination Surgery?

Yes, there are downsides. Depending on which procedures you’re getting, you could be increasing your amount of time under anesthesia and dealing with greater recovery issues. The longer you spend under anesthesia, the greater your risks become. Also, because your body has to recover from a greater amount of surgery, the recovery period could cause you more discomfort and pain, plus it could take you a lot longer to heal.

While these downsides can seem a bit worrisome, rest assured that your surgeon will be prepared for these circumstances. Plastic surgeons will usually run tests on their patients while they’re under anesthesia to make sure that they’re doing fine as well as have a trained anesthesiologist to monitor you. They will also create a detailed recovery plan for you that will help you deal with any problems you have during the recovery period.

What are Commonly Combined Procedures?

  • Facelift/Eyelift
  • Brow lift/Facelift
  • Facelift/Fat transfers
  • Eyelift/Dermal Fillers (Botox, Juvederm, etc)
  • Chin Augmentation/Rhinoplasty
  • Facelift/Necklift
  • Breast reduction/Breast lift
  • Tummy tuck/Liposuction

These are among the most common, but the combinations are practically unlimited as long as you are a good candidate for the procedures.

How Do I Find Out Which Surgeries Will Get Me to My Goal?

The best way for you to determine which surgeries you need is to let someone else do it for you! Start by scheduling a patient consultation with a plastic surgeon that is skilled in a wide variety of procedures. During your consultation, the surgeon will assess the area that you want to improve, get some basic health information about you, discuss your desired results, and then come up with a comprehensive surgical plan that is unique to you and your body.

Can you do a boob job and a lipo at the same time?

You can absolutely combine liposuction and breast augmentation if you think it would help you achieve your aesthetic goals and you are a good candidate for both procedures.

How do you lay down after breast augmentation and BBL?

The best position for safe sleeping after breast augmentation surgery is on your back with your upper body slightly elevated. This position, typically achieved by sleeping in a recliner or with a stack of pillows, can reduce breast swelling and soreness.

What procedures can be combined with liposuction?

Liposuction is frequently performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or a tummy tuck. By combining aesthetic treatments, patients can receive cost-saving benefits with the surgical facility and anesthesia, in addition to planning for one recovery.

How long after lipo can you get another surgery?

Answer: It is always to wait at least a minimum of six weeks before having another liposuction procedure even if it is on different areas of the body. This allows the body to recover, it allows swelling to subside and the overall recovery after the second procedure will be better.
