Mommy Makeover: Q&A
Ask a Question
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?

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...

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...

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.

Tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction in one surgery
Thank you for a question that many women ask. Many women want their body back after pregnancies. The areas commonly changed by pregnancies include the belly and breasts. Treatment of these areas, with the addition of some liposuction, is called a mommy makeover and has become increasingly common.
Combining multiple procedures does have some advantages, including cost and overlapping the recovery times. In otherwise healthy women, this can be a safe procedure. This should be done in an...

Combination surgery--breast, abdomen, and liposuction
It is possible to combine surgical procedures in one visit. Combining procedures does depend upon what procedures are to be done, how much tissue will be removed, what type of anesthesia is planned and your overall health. It is usually safer to do combination surgery under general anesthesia. The breast augmentation with or without lift, with tummy tuck and liposuction is usually a safe procedure for many women. During your initial consultation this will be discussed specifically with...

Surgery all together
In my past experience, it is wise to combine your surgeries as compared to staging them. The advantage is you only need 1 reovery, 1 time off work and 1 anesthetic. There are also financial advantages. Discuss this with your surgeon.There also may be an issue of how long the surgery takes. Make sure you get the result you want and do not have limited surgeries performed just for time sake. All the best

Mini Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation & Lipo Is Possible: It's Called a Mommy Makeover
Mini abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, and liposuction are procedures that are commonly performed together as part of the mommy makeover. This procedure has been designed to reverse the changes associated with pregnancy. Pregnancy causes loss of breast volume with associated sag, loose, saggy abdominal skin, and fat collections of the hips and thighs. This combination simultaneously addresses these problems in a safe and cost-effective manner. The procedure is associated with extremely...

Mini tummy tuck, breast augmentation and lipo
Yes, this combination of surgery is safe, as long as your surgeon is used to doing combination surgery. As the surgery gets longer and more involved, you might want to choose a surgeon who is able to do the surgery in a hospital that offers overnight care at a nominal charge. The cost will vary depending on the area of country and the expertise of the surgeon. Be careful of cut rate prices. It would be better to separate the surgeries if you can't afford it all at once. Good luck.

Combining Procedures in "Mommy Makeover"
It is common to combine a breast procedure, tummy tuck, and liposuction into one custom procedure called a “Mommy Makeover”. A Mommy Makeover helps restore a patient’s pre-pregnancy body after she is finished having children.

For example, you mentioned you have...

Mini Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, and Liposuction in One Surgery
Depending on the amount of loose skin and fat to be removed, it is possible to combine the three procedures in a mommy makeover on the same surgery day. You will need to balance the benefits of combining versus the possible better results in performing the surgeries in stages. Surgical fees will vary depending on location and scope of work. However, the combination will most likely be between $8500 to $15000.

Multiple procedures in one surgery
You mentioned a breast augmentation, mini tummy tuck, and liposuction, but you also mentioned sagging breasts and a loose tummy. Breast implants alone will not lift your breasts. All they are designed to do is to add volume to the breast. If your breasts are sagging then you might need a breast lift more than a breast augmentation. A breast lift can be done with or without the addition of breast implants. Mini tummy tucks are good for tightening muscles and...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Breast augmentation with tummy tuck and liposuction at the same time
Combining breast augmentation with a mini tummy tuck and limited liposuction (such as of the saddle bag area) is possible and safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. The amount of time required to perform all these procedures should be less than 4 -5 hours, surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and recovery should take 1 - 2 weeks.

Safety with tummy tuck, breast surgery, and lipo
Your question is a very good one and plastic surgeons have debated it for some time. There is now some good data to support the idea of doing multiple procedures, and it certainly saves recovery time and money. Things that affect the risk are the length of the surgery, and the patient's overall health. Most would not recommend a surgery longer than 6 hours, and patients who are overweight or have medical conditions are at higher risk for complications.

Your safety is the most important aspect to consider for elective surgery. It depends on your general health, height/weight/any health issues/etc. Your best bet is to meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can review your history, go over your exam and may suggestions as to what procedure or combination of procedures will help you. The costs of the procedures will vary as to where you are in the country because of facility fees, anesthesia, supplies, etc. I hope this helps.

This combination has been covered previously on this site and I would recommend that you read the other replies addressing this matter. It is certainly technically feasible but your surgeon needs to discuss fully all the concerns and poyential risks and recovery advantages and disadvantages. In my practice, if the patient is healthy and all aspects of each surgery is relatively straightforward, this combination is certainly most often perfomed simultaneously.
