Edmond A. Zingaro, MD answers: How is recovery with Tummy tuck and Breast lift?

What is the recovery like doing a Tummy tuck and Breast lift at the same time? Should i do them together or two seperate surgeries?

Breast lift (mastopexy) is essentially a skin operation and not terribly painful in my experience.  Tummy tuck convalescence is more arduous.  Muscles are tightened and drains are placed.  It is not unreasonable to do both procedures together as it is unlikely the lift will prolong your recovery.
