Are metal staples used to close Tummy Tuck incision? If so, is there an alternative for someone like me who is allergic to those metal staples.
There are a variety of ways to close a tummy tuck incision. This varies form surgeon to surgeon. I usually close my tummy tuck incisions with absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. Talk to your surgeon about how /she plans to close your incsion. Let them know that you have an allergy to staples.
When they pull my skin down to remove the excess during Tummy Tuck, will this pull my breasts down as well?
It is unlikely to pull breasts downward from a traditional tummy tuck. Most of the pull from a tummy tuck is on the lower half of the abdomen, well away form the lower border of the breast. Talk to your plastic surgeon about how much skin elevation from the abdomen whe/she plans to perform.
I am considering a Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift. Is it safer to have the procedures performed separately? Is there any increased risk from combining procedures and having them performed at the same time?
All surgical procedures have some risks. Combining two surgical procedures such as a breast lift and a tummy tuck can increase risks associated with bleeding, infection, anesthetic risks, and deep venous thrombosis, among other things.
Having said that, a breast lift and tummy tuck combination is a very common procedure. I recomend that you discuss the options and increased risks with your surgeon. Be specific.
Ask the surgeon how many combination cases he/she performs. How long will the procedure take? What have been the outcomes?What additional steps if any do they take to help guard against these increased risks?
Good luck.
