    Default How long to wait between major cosmetic surgery?

    If I wanted two separate surgeries from two different docs with different skills and each is a major operation like a boob job, is there a safe length of time to wait between getting put under general anesthesia? Just wondering what you guys think.

    And another thing I'm curious about: Why do cosmetic surgeons ask how many times you've been pregnant on their health forms? I don't get it.

    not sure about how long to wait in between, but you actually can get them both done at the same time, if you can afford it at once. you'll have to talk to them about it, but most doctors understand that you might have something in mind that a different doctor can do better. any good doctor will understand that at least. lol. if you want two doctors from different areas, it's not realistic. but if they're in the same area, you can get it. you might even save a bit of money by only going under the one time.

    you'll DEFINITELY save a substantial amount of money by booking both procedures to take place during the same surgery. Just one set of blood tests. Just one anesthesiologist's fee. Just one hospital O.R. charge. And it's even possible to schedule a single bout of surgery with two different surgeons, each doing their own specialty procedure !

    Mind Blowing Re: How long to wait between major cosmetic surgery?

    Wow, I always wondered if that was possible or just too diva.

    I want my girls done and have a doc that only does and teaches breast surgery but also want Michaelangelo to carve divinity into my nose while keeping the "ethnic" qualities of my italian descent. A bit much to ask of an "all in one" surgeon, or that i'd trust with my face in that specialty.

    ...must look into this.... Thanks Melonie!

    I am actually contemplating two different procedures in two different countries. Unfortunately, the procedures are highly specialized so they can't be done at the same time
    My calves are too thick and they only perform this type of reduction surgery in Asia, specifically Korea.

    omg i diden't know you could do that! I always thought I'd have to live with huge calves but it does sound sketchy... as far as the waiting period goes, your doctors are really the ones most qualified to give an answer and I'm sure will help you with it

    If its in two different countries.. I would talk to both of the surgeons and ask them for their advice. If its something you can do.. picking a surgeon in the same place, or the same one will save you lots! But if you cannot.. your best bet is to research check how lonh post-op is for implants and for the other one... one coud take a quicker healing time than another. So if you picked your doctors already, talk to them and tell them. Tell them both you are planning this surgury and how long you should wait.

    Plus they ask all your medical info for your safety and to their knowlegde on how to perform. So the most questions the better you are!
