Is Breast Augmentation & Liposuction at Same Time Safe?

I am a healthy 30 year old with no significant medical history. I am hoping to have a Breast Augmentation (with 375cc Silicone implants) and liposuction of the hips, inner & outer thighs, & knees (about 5 Liters worth). Is it safe to do it all in one procedure or is it better to split it up? My PS said it would be done under general and we could do it all at once, which is my hope. Also, what type of recovery should I expect. I have a 3 year old & 6 year old at home. Thanks for your help!

A: Safety of surgery

In qualified hands and setting, combining breast surgery with liposuction should be very safe.  Make sure your surgeon is ABPS certified and the surgery facility is accredited.

What's is the Most Precise form of Liposuction?

Dear Doctors, with this overflow of informations we can find on the internet, I'd like to know if there is really a liposuction technique that is more PRECISE than the another one ? I know it really depends of the surgeons, but for example when you look at some websites, it sounds like if some are THE MOST PRECISE TECHNIQUE on the market (vaser...) and I wanted to know if there is really a technique that allow the surgeons to get more precision ? Thanks in advance !

A: The most precise liposuction technique

It's certainly understandable how someone could be confused by all of the different liposuction techniques available today.  There is so much information and marketing about liposuction, VASER, SmartLipo and other techniques, it can be very confusing.  The bottom line is that these techniques may offer advantages for certain individuals.  Nonetheless, the most precise liposuction technique is done by the most precise surgeon.  End of story.  This is the absolute most important factor, so chose your surgeon wisely.  An experienced Plastic Surgeon can discuss the different techniques available and recommend which one will work best for you.

Liposuction for Men

Online I keep finding info about women who had liposuction. Thats fine, but I would be very interested in doing something about my love handles and stomach roll.  Is it common to do male liposuction to improve body contours? Are the risks of liposuction for men the same as for women?

A: Male liposuction

Although men tend to talk about liposuction less than women, nearly half of my liposuction patients are men.  The most common areas for liposuction for men are the "love handles" on the side of the abdomen and the central abdomen.  Frequently liposuction techniques can be used for male breast reduction surgery as well in the neck under the chin.  The results can be dramatic and offer very high patient satisfaction under the correct circumstances.  Meeting with a Plastic Surgeon can best help you determine if you might be a good candidate for male liposuction.
