28 yr old female, with 3 children. I feel like I have a lot of excess skin in fat in my abdominal region. I am interested in a tummy tuck and inner thigh lift, as well as a breast lift. Is it possible to combine all 3 in my situation?

CONTACT NOW Answer: All In One Procedure: Breast Lift, Thigh Lift, and Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question regarding whether combining a breast lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck is possible. Yes, it is possible to combine breast lift (mastopexy), thigh lift (thighplasty), and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). It is essential to coordinate with your plastic surgeon; your plastic surgeon and their team need to feel comfortable. Most plastic surgeons can combine all of these procedures into one surgery. Less experienced plastic surgeons would stage these procedures. The breast lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck would be performed under general anesthesia and would typically be an outpatient procedure. Depending on your plastic surgeon, you may require one or two days of monitoring. During your breast lift, I suggest areola reduction and an incision along the front and beneath your breasts. For your tummy tuck, I would suggest an incision from hip to hip with a pubic lift, pubic reduction, recreation of the belly button, and suturing of the six-pack muscle. Also, with a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat from the pubic region to the top of the belly button will be removed. During your thigh lift, I will suggest thigh liposuction from the groin down the inside of your thigh. If it bothers you down to the knee, the incision should be extended from the groin to the knee. I hope these answers help clarify whether combining a breast lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck is possible.

Answer: Combination Body Contouring Procedures The combination of breast lift, thigh lift and tummy tuck can be performed in a single setting. When these operations are performed together, safety has to be the first priority. For this reason, we believe it's important to minimize the length of these operative procedures. An experienced surgeon, first assistant and surgical team that focus on efficiency can minimize the length of the procedure and reduce the potential for complications.The advantages of this approach are obvious and include improved synergy and harmony which improves the overall aesthetic result. Patients experience one recovery rather than multiple recoveries and they potentially save money when the procedures are done in combination.Combination surgery isn't for everyone. Patients may have co-existing health problems which prevent this approach. If you're considering this approach, it's important that you discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to formulate an appropriate surgical plan.

Answer: Combining Multiple Procedures The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. Healing after a #tummytuck will require time. Some patients are out of bed and walking the night of surgery and every hour while awake. I allow my patients to return to work at one to two weeks with 14 days preferred. However, no lifting or straining. At three weeks, increased level of activity and full with no restrictions, at 6 weeks. #MummyTummy is a term given to modified tummy tucks which can use liposuction and skin tightening with radiofrequency such Vanquish, Vela3, thermage, thermiRF and others. The actual fat contouring can be done non-surgically as well with #UltraShape or Cool-Sculpting.The costs of a #Mommy Makeover will depend on several factors. Such include the geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees. Also, such #combined operations are often performed with our Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with Mommy Makeovers. Therefore, if you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your doctor. #Combining these procedures decreases anesthetics, costs, and recovery time. Most importantly, your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Answer: Tummy tuck, breast lift and thigh lift Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck and breast lift are great procedures to combine as they address some of big changes that happen after pregnancy or weight changes. It is often referred to as a mommy makeover. It is a bigger procedure and may often require a night in the hospital. Adding a thigh lift may be too much to handle during the recovery period and may also add a lot of time/body stress to the actual surgery. I would normally recommend separating the the thigh lift from the other two procedures.I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options in more detail.
