Can Multiple Fat Grafting Procedures Be Done at the Same Time?

Q: Can a butt lift and facial fat graft be done at the same time?

A:

The two surgeries can be combined. Recovery can be challenging and uncomfortable. I allow patients to sleep on their sides. Patients can also rest in other positions as long as the other areas do not receive pressure. There are creative ways to manage this. For example, my patient coordinator recommends a plastic inflatable with a hole in it, where instead of your tummy, you place your butt, so you can sleep on your back with pillows propping up your neck and head.
