Does Combining Breast Reduction and Liposuction Cost Less?

Thank you for the question.

Generally speaking,  you may find that combination procedures do cost less than doing the procedures separately.

Best wishes.

Hi there,
Because it is much less expensive to spend a bit more time in the operating room than it is to return to it at a later time (one set of supplies, less general demand on resources...), and because the surgeon's time is also utilized more efficiently, in most practices you would indeed save a fair amount of money by combining two procedures. When you also consider the amount of your own time you will save by having to go through only one recovery period, the financial incentives to combining the procedures can be significant.
Of course, this is only worth doing if combining the procedures is something that would be safe for you, and would therefore depend on your overall health, the procedures in question, and the details of the procedures (type of anesthesia, length of surgery, surgeon's experience combining them, etc...).
Here's a bit more about choosing a surgeon:

Combining procedures including Breast Reduction and Liposuction saves both money and recovery time.
1. The operating room costs are generally less on the second procedure so this saves $400-$500.
2. You recover once instead of twice. Adding liposuction does not add time to the recovery from breast reduction. So you save about 10 days of recovery time over separating the procedures into two surgeries. Since time is money for most of us, this is also very important.
I often perform these procedures together if a patient does not smoke and is in good health. If the patient has any heart or lung problems I will send them to be thoroughly checked by their medical doctor before going ahead with surgery
