I would like to have one recovery time due to the cost and time off work. Would it be too much surgery to do a TT, hysterectomy and breast reduction?
Answer: Combination Thank you for your question. Our studies show that it is safe to perform a tummy tuck at the time of the hysterectomy. Adding a breast reduction will likely add another 3 hours to an already long procedure. My advice would be to do the breast reduction at another time. The recovery from a breast reduction will be much easier than the abdominal procedures. I suggest you meet with a reputable board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Good luck!

Answer: Combining procedures While combining procedures is common and considered safe, there is a limit. You are considering combining medically necessary with elective procedures which will require coordinating two different surgeons. It is recommended that surgical time be limited to six hours or less for your safety. I encourage you to speak to each of your surgeons to get their feedback based on your physical exam and medical history.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Procedures I know that in my office we complete multiple mommy makeover procedures together at one time. The mommy makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BeastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, #breastreduction. This may not be the same for all other surgeons, but simply find a local certified surgeon for a consultation as to how they handle the mommy makeover procedures that will achieve your desired physical results. You will want to confirm with the surgeon about the hysterectomy that you wish for. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Combination surgical procedures say? Generally speaking, combination surgical procedures are done routinely. However, you are wise in being concerned about the safety of combination surgery; risks/possible complications do increase with increased length of surgery… In my practice, I would recommend that you not undergo all these procedures at the same time.

Answer: Is it possible to get a TT, hysterectomy, and breast reduction at the same time? Can it all be done at the same time yes, but is it prudent probably not. Your hysterectomy might be a medically necessary procedure but the other two procedures are completely elective. There are many other factors to consider as your age, the size of the reduction needed, and other medical issues that you might have ie high blood pressure or diabetes. You usually would like to limit elective procedure to 5-6 hours of surgery. You can increase the risk of pulmonary embolism, infection, and deep venous thrombosis. It would be wise to split the procedures and have two separate operations. You should meet with your surgeons and decide what would be the best game plan for you individually.Thanks for your question.Good luck!!
