Having a breast reduction and possibly abdominal liposuction of entire trunk. It is better to have both procedures at once or separately? I know from some consultations the surgeon said they don't like to turn the patient after breast reduction and others said its fine, help?
Answer: Breast reduction and abdominal liposuction, same time? If you are in good health, you should be able to have the operations the same day. There are many variables, (how much liposuction, etc;). Best to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon. Together you will review your goals and see what is possible.

Answer: Breast Reduction/ Liposuction Combination?
Thank you for the question.
Although every patient's care is individualized, generally speaking this combination surgery is more likely possible than not. The determining factor will be whether the procedure can be done SAFELY in one session.
As always, it is best for patients to be as close as possible to their long-term stable weight prior to proceeding with surgery.
It will be in your best interest to seek consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Answer: Breast reduction and abdominal liposuction
Yes this is possible but it leads me to ask if this is your best approach or should you consider more traditional forms of weight loss in order to achieve your goal. Liposuction is inteded for localized fat and not diffiusely distributed deposits surrounding the entire trunk

Answer: Combining cosmetic surgery
It is very common to perform liposuction with a reduction mammoplasty or breast reduction. The plastic surgeon can start the liposuction of the back/posterior trunk before the breast surgery.
In an outpatient surgery center, one liter of fat (lipoaspirate) can be removed at the same time of other cosmetic surgical procedures. If a large amount of fat is suctioned, up to 4 liters, then the procedures would have to be performed separately.
If the total time of surgery is longer than six hours, I often recommend to perform the reduction mammoplasty and liposuction separately.

Answer: Combination Procedures
Whether I perform multiple procedures depends on whether the procedures are complex, take more than 6 hours and the overall health of the patient. If you are in good health and the procedure is less than 6 hours then liposuction on your back can be performed first then you can be placed o your back and liposuction performed on your abdomen and finally the breast reduction. Good luck.
