Combining Mastectomy, Hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck Feasible?

Please take care of the most life threatening issues, first, i.e. your breast cancer. Interview several Plastic surgeons who have active practices in breast reconstruction. You are fortunate to be located in Dallas, where there are many world class providers. Determine whether your reconstruction can be done in tandem with the cancer surgery, (immediate vs delayed) as well as whether your preference is for autogenous (your own tissue) vs alloplastic (tissue expander & implants).

I understand wanting to gift yourself a tummy tuck, but don't burn that bridge until you know that you are happy with your chest first.

If you are not having reconstruction, still wait because you may change your mind! Good luck!

I would assume that you will be having a breast reconstruction at the same time. I would say NO. Way too much surgery, you will be under anesthesia for a long time and then you are combining clean surgeries, tummy tuck and breast reconstruction with a clean-contaminated (not so clean surgery) of hysterectomy. Too long anesthesia time, not safe.
