Combining Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift with Implants, and Thigh Lift

Usually a longer surgery like this is OK as long as you are healthy as you say you are.  Combining tummy tuck and breast augmentation along with other surgeries has become extremely popular these days.  Combining the surgeries lessens your recovery time in the long run versus having the surgeries separate and saves on OR costs.  I recommend you schedule a consultation at least 6 months after you are completely finished nursing.

Hello! Thank you for your question! These procedures can be effectively and safely performed in one setting. The breasts and tummy tuck are commonly performed together, often referred to as the "mommy makeover". If you are healthy and your surgeon decides that s/he could perform the procedures in a safe time for you, these procedures certainly can be done in one stage. Staging the procedures to have them performed at various times will likely not have any cost benefit for you. When you combine procedures, there is often a discount that is provided by the surgeon for multiple procedures. Also, when having multiple procedures performed at the same time, you save on anesthesia and facility fees, which otherwise are paid for with each individual procedure. In addition, you may benefit by the single recovery time. It is your decision as to whether you have your procedures performed in one or multiple stages, but your surgeon will give his/her recommendations.  These are procedures that take several hours each to perform, and consideration for staging into 2 settings may be wise. I would consult with a plastic surgeon well-versed in these procedures and discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what your options are as well as have an examination. Your safety is ultimately the most important factor and is always on the mind of your surgeon when making such decisions. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

The mommy makeover is one of
the most popular operations performed by plastic surgeons. The procedure is a
combination of cosmetic breast surgery, liposuction and abdominoplasty. It has
been designed to correct changes that occur normally with pregnancy. In some
cases, other procedures may be added to improve the overall result. When loose
thigh skin is encountered, a thigh lift can improve the result.

 

         Tummy tuck, breast
lift with implants and thigh lifts can be performed safely together when the
procedure is performed in less then six hours. When patients have co existing
medical problems, they should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation before
surgery. Depending upon the results of these studies, it may be appropriate to
stage these procedures in some cases.

 

         There are multiple
advantages in performing these procedures in combination. These include an
improved overall result, lowered cost, and a single recovery. Patients
typically report increased self esteem, self image, and an overall improvement
in the quality of their lives. For these reasons, the mommy makeover is one of
the most popular operations that is currently performed in plastic surgery.
