I have scheduled my surgery for breast implants, I plan to use 350cc silicone over the muscle at the cost of 6,000.00 now I am thinking that I might as well have a fat pocket in my lower abdomen liposuction. How much extra cost and recovery time be?

Answer: Combining liposuction and Breast Augmentation is common Combining liposuction and Breast Augmentation is a common procedure. Depending on the extent of the liposuction, this should not significantly add to your recovery. I often do combination procedures and would offer my patients SmartlipoMPX the abdomen. This alone, usually only requires only 1-2 days for recovery back to normal activity. Talk with your plastic surgeon about the cost, but there may be a small financial benefit by combining these procedures. Smartlipo MPX by itself, only requires a local anesthetic, so it may be better to do this as a stand alone procedure if your Breast Augmentation is being done under general anesthesia. The additional costs by combining these would depend not just on the surgeon, but also on the OR and Anesthesia charges.

Answer: Combining liposuction and Breast Augmentation Hi there- The combination of procedures you are contemplating sounds very reasonable provided you are in good health. Adding what sounds like a small bit of liposuction should not add significantly to your recovery limitations. As for the increase on your expense, this will depend heavily on your surgeon's policies and your geographic area.
