Simultaneous implant and lift

It is more cost effective to do the breast lift and implants simultaneously. This minimizes the number of aesthetics, pre-op screening, facility charges as well as surgeon's charges. If the patient needs both procedures, I always do them at the same time. Best of Luck, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Both at the same time

Combining breast augmentation and mastopexy is an efficient use of surgical time, recovery time, and for most part has efficiency for pricing. Doing a breast lift and augmentation simultaneously requires expertise in both procedures. Breast lift themselves, are relatively straight forward as are breast augmentation standing alone. Combining these two procedures is more complex but is frequently done.

Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation at the same time

There is disagreement amongst plastic surgeons whether to do breast lift and breast augmentation at the same time. There generally is a cost savings for both patient and surgeon if you do the procedures at the same time. However, the important thing is to find a surgeon that understand your priorities and will deliver a result that will make you happy.

Breast Augmentation and Breast Lifting Staged? Finances?

Thank you for the question. Whether the breast lift and augmentation should be done the same time is not a question agreed-upon by all plastic surgeons. There are good plastic surgeons who will insist on doing the procedures separately and there are good plastic surgeons who can produce excellent outcomes in a single stage. The combination breast augmentation / mastopexy surgery differs from breast augmentation surgery alone in that it carries increased risk compared to either... more

Breast lift and augmentation at the same time

Yes an augmentation with a lift can be done at the same time by a surgeon who is competent to perform it. There is very little need to split up the procedures if done correctly. It is a very common procedure in my practice and yes it will most likely cost less all at once. Many surgeons are making more money off of you by insisting that the procedures be separated.

Breast Augmentation and Lift - one stage vs two stages

A breast augmentation and lift can be performed in one setting. This is a very common procedure. However, if you have severe sagging or very loose skin, you may need the procedures performed in two separate stages. And yes, an augmentation and lift is a much more involved procedure and requires more time than just a breast augmentation - so the costs will be much more. Hope this helps.

Breast lift and implants

I commonly perform implant surgery and breast lift at the same time. SOme surgeons will stage them and place implants and then lift the breasts.

Breast lift and implants

Yes, a breast lift and implants can be performed at the same time for some patients. Doing both procedures does add time and cost to the operation, so it does cost more than either procedure performed alone. Doing both procedures at the same time can also increase your risk of certain complications, so this isn't for everyone. I would recommend that you speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options. Good luck!

Combining augment and pexy

Breast augment and lift are frequently combined. The price tag, however, reflects the length of the procedure, similar to a breast reduction, with the added cost of implants. It is about 30% more than the augment alone but, in my opinion, can be truly worth it and less costly than dividing the procedures.

Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation Can be done at the same time

Dependent on a doctor's preference they can be done simultaneously or as separate operations. I have always performed them simultaneously with excellent results.You would pay for each separate procedure which is less expensive than doing them separately as there is only one recovery and anesthesia time (shorter than anesthesia for two procedures). Some surgeons may discount the price if they are done together while most probably do not Candidates for Breast Lift... more
