Mini Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, and Liposuction in One Surgery?

Is it possible to get a breast augmentation, a mini tummy tuck and a bit of Liposuction on my thighs in the same visit? My goal is to reverse signs of 3 children (droopy breasts, loose tummy) and age (a little extra fat on saddle bag area). I'd like to get it taken care of all at once. Also, what is the cost (approximately) of all 3 procedures?

Mini tummy tuck, breast surgery and lipo all at once

The important part to this is the time the surgeon considers it will take and your general medical health. If you are young and healthy and the surgery is less than 8 hours, as long as you have a professional place to stay overnight, I think you can proceed. Some surgeons will use blood thinning shots for high risk patients and that is nice to be in an overnight facility in order to receive them. The other major issue is that of avoiding dehydration, at times requiring an IV or close... more

This would be a "mini-mommy makeover plus."

As patients (and their doctors) use clever terminology to describe surgical procedures, this breast and (mini)-tummy tuck surgery plus liposuction could be called a "mini-mommy makeover plus!" Of course, the breast surgery could be implants PLUS breast lift, and the abdominal surgery a ful tummy tuck, and this could be called the "perky full mommy makeover." Add lipo and you have the "perky full mommy makeover plus." Let's just stop the foolishness... more

Combining procedures

It is not uncommon to comibine surgery on the breast and abdomen (tummy). However, it is important to discuss this with your plastic surgeon-Combined procedures may have advantages (perhaps an overall cost savings), but there may also be disadvantages (perhaps longer recovery).

Tummy Tuck, Liposuction and Breast Augment Together

It is quite common to combine the above procedures, and this is often referred to as a "mommy makeover", a term that refers to correcting whatever the post pregnancy changes to the body are. Just be careful to talk to a well experienced surgeon. Most of us prefer not to do a mini-tummy tuck because for so many patients it leaves a tihtened lower abdomen and a loose or even bulin upper abdomen. there are certainly a few patients where the mini may be appropriate, but that is why you... more

Can tummy tuck, breast aug, and lipo be performed at the same time.

Hello, Yes. It depends on your plastic surgeons preference and your overall health but the three procedures can be performed at the same time safely in the majority of cases. A tummy tuck and breast augmentation/breast surgery is what a mommy makeover procedure is usually defined as. The cost varies significantly from surgeon to surgeon and location. Expect to pay around 15K for all of the procedures using silicone implants. All the best, Dr Repta more

It is possible to have more than one procedure done at the same time

It is possible to have more than one procedure done at the same time, depending on what procedures you want. Especially if you are in good health, the three procedures you are considering, mini-tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction, can be done at the same time. I would recommend consulting a plastic surgeon in your area who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Combining breast implants, mini-tummy tuck and liposuction

If you are in good health, combination plastic surgery procedures can be carried out safely provided it is completed in a timely fashion. These procedures can be done in 3-4 hours, which is a reasonably amount of time. The longer the procedure, the higher the risk of developing a DVT (blood clot) in your leg which could potentially migrate to your lungs. Please be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon prior to scheduling a combination of plastic surgery procedures. You may also... more

Multiple procedures

Yes, it is possible to have multiple procedures at the same time.  Having multiple procedures has the advantage of combining multiple recoveries into one, but has the downside of a prolonged surgery and slightly increased risk of complications.  For that reason make sure you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon and the procedure is performed in an accredited facility.

Combination procedures

It is very common to proceed with these multiple procedures in one setting.  But as my colleagues have suggested, you need to visit with your ASPS member surgeon for a complete evaluation of your health status, past medical history and medications.  He/she will determine if you are medically safe to proceed with a combined procedure.  They may also recommend further evaluation by an internist for medical clearance if that is warranted.

Combining Breast Surgery, Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Is Safe and Saves Recovery Time

In young healthy patients combining breast procedures such as breast enlargement or a breast lift and abdominoplasty/liposuction is safe. Several good studies show no difference in the number of complications. There is always the possibility of a blood clot forming in the leg after any tummy tuck procedure, or any surgery over 2 hours in length for that matter. While this is rare, if it occurs it could be very serious. Use of sequential compression stockings started before the anesthetic... more

Tummy tuck combinations

This combination is frequently performed in my practice. I would encourage you to discuss this with your surgeon, but it is certainly possible, provided the operative time is no more than six hours, if you are planning on doing this as an outpatient. If more time is required for the surgery you can certainly have this performed but may need to be admitted to the hospital. Good luck to you. Frank Rieger M.D. Tampa Plastic Surgeon more

Multiple Plastic Surgical Procedures?

Thank you for the question. Assuming you are working with a board certified plastic surgeon and board-certified anesthesiologists in a fully accredited surgery center/hospital ( and have had medical clearance prior to surgery) you will be extremely likely to have a safe procedure. The cost of the procedures will vary greatly from practice to practice. I hope this helps.

Combining tummy tuck, breast augmentation & liposuction into one surgery

If you are healthy, without any significant medical conditions and working with an experienced plastic surgeon, then performing all three procedure at once is certainly reasonable and something that I advise my patients to do for 3 reasons: The post operative healing process is limited to a single experience. The overall cost can be lowered by doing everything in one sitting. Risks associated with anesthesia are limited to a single session. ... more

Multiple procedures for mommy makeover

Yes, the procedures of mini-tummy tuck, breast augmentation and liposuction can be performed together assuming you are in good health and no severe medical problems. Many people that are looking for a mini-TT actually would be better served with a full TT. All the best, Talmage J. Raine MD FACS

Mommy makeover

As long as you are in good health, I would certainly perform the procedures that you listed. There are multiple advantages in total costs and a single recovery. Combining abdominal procedure such as tummy tuck with breast surgery including augmentation and breast lift produces a very good overall improvement in your body contour.

The Advantages of Combined Procedures

Yes it is possible to combine breast augmentation, mini-tummy tuck and thigh liposuction in one operative session. There are always advantages and disadvantages to combined procedures. Certainly you should ideally be in good overall medical condition and be able to recover from a longer procedure. You can expect pain in the multiple surgical sites. The big advantage is you can recover from these procedures in the same time period and achieve a more dramatic improvement in one stage. As... more

Combination surgery

Mommy makeover is usually combination surgery of breast and body.  Most commonly after pregnancy, moms will need breast augmentation with or without lift and tummy tuck.  The operative time varies depending on the extent of surgery.  Would you need breast lift with augmentation or just augmentation?  Mommy makeover is routinely done at the same time.  For your procedures of breast aug/lift, mini-tummy tuck, and liposuction can be done at the same time as long as... more

Can you have lipo, breast and abdominal surgery

In my practice, in a healthy motivated patient we preform these procedures together safely all the time, in a hospital setting. Costs depend on surgery time, if you are using implants or not, and how many ares of liposuction you are having.

Combining liposuction with mommy makeover surgery

The combination of liposuction, abdominoplasty or mini-abdominoplasty, and breast enhancement is known as a mommy makeover. You may do them in sequence or at the same time.

Combining surgeries

Yes, it is possible to have those procedures done all at once. You will want to discuss with your surgeon your medical history and how long is safe for you to be under general anesthesia. Combining surgeries will extend your time in the OR and under anesthesia. Talk with your surgeon about the risks.

Mommy makeover

We often combine breast and body procedures in the same operative setting and find that most patients tolerate them quite well.  Of course it depends on the patient and what needs to be done.  It is always best to err on the side of safety.

Possible versus good idea.....

Hello, It might be possible but might not be a great idea. Much of this depends upon exactly how much surgery you may have in store and your bodies' ability to handle it. It varies. Sometimes doing what you desire in more than one operation (staging) is a better idea for a number of reasons. Best Regards, John Di Saia

Mommy Makeover: single stage surgery in most cases

Yes, you very likely can do the mini-tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction at one time.  This is quite common, actually, for women who are otherwise healthy and not far from ideal body weight (not great liposuction volume).  One thing, though, after 3 children, you are most likely a better candidate for a full tummy tuck than a mini-tummy tuck.  Discuss this carefully with your surgeon.
