Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck are often Combined for a Mommy Makeover
Thank you for your question.
Breast Augmentation and Breast Implants are often combined with Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty and done at the same operation. This is sometimes called the Mommy Makeover.
These two procedures can be done safely together. Your recovery may be a little longer that if each is done separately. However the benefit of having one surgery and one anesthesia outweighs the inconvenience of a few days of extra recovery.
Most patients in my experience are very...

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...

The combo procedure of breast and tummy (aka – mommy makeover) is very commonly done together and safe.
1. The benefits of combing the procedures include less total recovery time, less cost (Anesthesia, facility), less interrupting to your life, family and job. Most important, it can reduce the risk of undergoing multiple separate procedures.
2. I strongly advise you speak with your plastic surgeon about the length of a combined procedure. Anesthesia is statically safer for combined...

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.

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.

Combination Procedures are a Great Option! Tummy Tuck with Breast Augmentation is Referred to as a Mommy Makeover
The majority of patients who request Tummy Tuck in combination with breast augmentation have had previous pregnancies. It’s not uncommon for women to develop breast volume loss, breast sag, and redundant abdominal tissue with weakened muscles following pregnancy. Many of these problems are refractory to diet and exercise. In many cases, they can severely affect self confidence, self esteem, self image, sexuality, and how clothes fit. For these reasons, we see a large number of patients who...

Mommy Makeover
Dear Anon,
The short answer is yes, these two procedures can be combined, and in fact often are. Of course, this is assuming you do not have any medical comorbidities that would put you at high risk for complications like a DVT/PE. If you have any significant medical issues, these may limit the number of procedures you can have at a single setting.

Combining Breast Augmentation with a Tummy Tuck is fine in a healthy patient.
Abdominoplasty and breast enlargements are often combined in healthy patients to provide for one recovery period (this is also known as a mommy makeover). The patient's examination and discussion of the patient's objectives with the plastic surgeon is essential to determine what specific procedures need be performed (and can be safely combined).

Abdominoplasty and breast augmentation can be combined....
But it depends a bit on the case.
Very extensive tummy tucks, like for example after massive weight loss and/or a gastric band, can be quite extenisve operations.
Tummy tucks are not all the same.
If it is a moderate tummy tuck there is no problem.
We have recently reviewed a series of 132 such combined surgeries and found that patient satisfaction was even higher compared to the operations being performed separately.

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.

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."

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.

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.
