Is It Common to Combine Breast Augmentation with Tummy Tuck Surgery?
I'm 45 yrs. old, and I'd like to have breast augmentation and a tummy tuck procedure done at the same time. Are these surgeries a good cominbation to have done at the same time, or is it advised to have two separate surgeries?

Breast augmentation with a tummy tuck is a perfect combination!
Many Moms seeking a "mommy makeover" choose to rejuvenate both their breasts and their abdominal regions at the same time.
As the breasts are often deflated after breastfeeding, an implant is placed to add back volume. Both saline and silicone implants are available; for thin women with little breast tissue, I usually recommend silicone for the most natural look and feel.
An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is the perfect accompaniment for a mommy makeover!
During this procedure,...

Combining tummy tuck and breast augmentation
The tummy tuck and breast augmentation can certainly be completed at the same time, provided you are a good candidate for surgery and anesthesia. I like to alter the breast and abdomen, as well as the lower body, at the same time since this allows —with proper planning—one operative procedure for a major body balance change. In this manner, the breast projection, buttock projection and flat tummy can all be achieved in harmonious proportion to each other, and you will get some...

Combining Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck for Mommy Makeover
The "Mommy Makeover" is a term used to describe procedures, or groups of procedures to address common effects of childbirth, (Breast sagging and loss of volume, extra skin on abdomen). For the breasts treatment can include augmentation and /or lift. For the abdomen treatment can include abdominoplasty, (tummy tuck) and/or liposuction. During the tummy tuck, a plication, (sewing together) of the muscles separated during pregnancy can be done.
Often times the breast and abdomen...

Mommy makeover with tummy tuck and breast augmentation
The tummy tuck and breast augmentation can easily be done together and it makes sense to do so. A good surgeon can do a great job with both and still keep your anesthesia time to a minimum. Yes, your recovery will be more involved, but I would suggest that you find a surgeon that routinely uses pain pumps following breast augmentation surgery. This will make the recovery more tolerable.

Is it common to perform an augmentation mammoplasty and abdominoplansty together?
Yes it is. Of course, it is more common to do breast augmentation and an abdominoplasty separately, but after pregnancy the breasts often lose some of their size and may even sag, and the abdomen after pregnancy stretches and often protrudes. The common term for the two procedures together is "mommy make-over." Doing them together saves recovery time and money because the supplies and anesthesia prices are combined and less than the price of them separately.

Enhancing Your Breast Augmentation with Additional Procedures
Breast augmentation currently is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. There has been a marked increase in the number of women, not only asking for augmentation, but combining their breast enlargement procedure with additional body contouring procedures in order to achieve a better overall result. The most common procedures include liposuction of the abdomen, hips, and thighs or possibly a tummy tuck with additional liposuction of the hips and thighs. Women comment to us...

Breast augmentation and tummy tuck can be performed at the same time
Hello,
I believe most plastic surgeons would perform a breast augmentation and tummy tuck at the same time. Although there is no right or wrong answer, performing them both at the same time has the added advantage of saving you a little money and saving you the recovery time of the second procedure. Make sure your plastic surgeon feels comfortable with doing so as some plastic surgeons prefer to stage the procedures. The combination of breast augmentation and tummy tuck...

Combine surgery
If you are planning both surgeries, and you are a good candidate for both surgeries, and it works for you financially, then I genearlly advise to do these surgeries together. Generally, together, the surgical time is about 3-4 hours. Together, there is one recovery, one anesthetic and, generally, lower cost.

Breast augmentation and tummy tuck are very commonly done together.
Breast augmentation and abdominoplasty are two procedures that are very commonly performed at the same time. I typically refer to these combined procedures as "Mommy Makeovers" because as we all know pregnancy can have a significant effect on the appearance of the breast and abdomen. The benefits of doing these procedures together are that there is only one time for anesthesia and only one recovery period. I do follow the strictest of safety standards which are set by our...

Breast Augmentationand Abdominoplasty
At The Sullivan Centre, we routinely combine breast augmentation surgery with an abdominoplasty. Many women choose this option because of the convenience of one recovery time. There is typically a financial benefit to combining multiple procedures. If you are in good health, these procedures can be combined safely. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

The Mommy Makeover
It is quite common to combine these two operations as this is typically done in healthy patients who have had children and desire a “mommy makeover”. It is a good combination procedure to do simultaneously as it can be done in a reasonable amount of time which is usually less than 4 hours.

Mommy Makeover Montreal experience
Combining a breast augmentation with a tummy-tuck in a healthy patient can be an excellent choice. Many patients experience significant and undesirable changes to their breast and tummies after multiple pregnancies. The Mommy Makeover combined surgery can address these changes in one operation and the nice thing about it is that each part enhances the other, i.e. the firmer, larger breasts make the tummy look flatter and the flat tummy makes the breasts appear to "project" more...

Mommy Makeover: Combining Abdominoplasty and Breast Augmentation
The so-called 'Mommy makeover' is a great combination!
Patients are nearly always thrilled with either procedure alone. Combine them and moms are ecstatic.
These two operations can be done together in complete safety in most individuals, provided they are in the hands of a well-trained plastic surgeon.
Adding the breast augmentation to the tummy tuck does not lengthen the recovery period compared to having the tummy alone. Patients can therefore save...

Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck = Mommy Makeover
Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck surgery are frequently combined in one procedure, often referred to as the "Mommy Makeover." The breasts and tummy are often both affected dramatically and irreversibly by pregnancy, such that surgery is the only way to "get your body back." It is very safe and effective to combine these procedures in to one surgery, which then reduces your surgical recovery into one block of time.

Breast augmentation and tummy tuck - Excellant when combined
It is very common to combine breast augmentation and tummy tuck surgery at the same time. This "Mommy Makeover" is frequently done after childbirth has caused deflation of the breasts and loose skin of the abdomen. The breast augmentation restores volume and contour to the breasts and the tummy tuck firms up and flattens the abdomen by tightening the muscles and trimming off loose skin. A small amount of liposuction may be done around the flanks to improve the...

Breast Augmentation with Tummy Tuck: The Mommy Makeover
Combining Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck is not only safe, but rewarding to both the patient and surgeon. In a single procedure, a woman can regain her feminine sillhouette and contour. In Houston, Texas, the Mommy Makeover is one of the most common cosmetic procedures I perform. Many of these patients have given so much of themselves to their children, careers, and other obligations, that they find it necessary to take time for themselves.

Combining a Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation is safe to do.
When combining a tummy tuck with a breast augmentation, the recovery will be more, but it is safe depending on your general health, physical condition and your overall body mass index, height and weight.

Breast augmentation and tummy tuck
These two operations compliment each other. Some patients will also consider adding liposuction of the flanks or love handles if indicated. The key to me is one anesthetic one recovery. That said if you are interested in both operations, I would recommend doing them at the same time. I perform intercostal nerve blocks with my breast surgery so there is minimal discomfort in the breasts although a sense of pressure as I typically place implants under the muscle,...

Augmentation and Tummy Tuck
Having both a breast augmentation and tummy tuck at the same time is a very common procedure and is safe to do. It actually makes it an easier recovery when you combine both, since your body can only sense pain at one area at one time. The time under anesthesia is longer, but not markedly so, and is usually an outpatient procedure.

Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation
These are great operations to combine. The combination can be done as part of a mommy makeover. The advantage is that the breast implants can often be placed through the abdominal incision so that you do not have to have incisions on your breasts at all.

Breast Enlargement and Tummy-tuck: a nice combination
As long as you are in good health and there are no contraindications, combining a breast enlargement with a tummy-tuck can provide a very nice rejuvenation to the body.
No amount of exercise can replace volume loss in the breasts, or repair the fascial and muscle stretching that can result from pregnancy. Most of our patients exercise and have gotten down to their goal weight after pregnancy, but still don't look the way they feel inside. This combination surgery can be a nice way to get...

Depends upon the amount of surgery and overall health
Some women need less surgery than others to get the desired correction. Women who need extended tummy tuck surgery and/or full breast lift with implant surgery may be better served by having the operations at different times. The redo rate is lower in my experience. On the other hand, simple breast augmentation with a tummy tuck can be do-able in many patients on one day.
It is a matter of degrees and a surgeon's philosophy.
Best Regards.
