Breast augmentation and liposuction combined procedure. What are costs, recovery time, etc.? (photos)

Hi,In looking at your pictures, I notice that you are quite slender. l would focus the liposuction on your abdomen and flanks/sides. You will get very little benefit from liposuction of the back. If you did this at the same time as a breast augmentation, it would add about 45 min to the procedure and an extra $3000-3500. Recovery from the liposuction is fairly quick, but your final result would not be evident for several months (all the bruising and much of the swelling will be gone in 3-4 weeks however). I would be happy to see you in person to discuss this more. You are an excellent candidate for breast augmentation.All my best,Daniel A. Medalie, MD

Thank you for your question! Having lipo on your abs, flanks, and back will add about 1.5-2 hours to the procedure, and probably around $4000 additional cost (this is the surgeon fee and does not include OR time and anesthesia), though many surgeons will offer a discount for multiple procedures. Swelling after lipo is usually gone by about three months, and sooner in many patients, so if you are thinking about getting this done before summer, it’s probably doable.

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.  You are also a candidate
for waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen, flanks, and lower
back.  This can greatly improve your overall shape with a smaller waist.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.   Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
