Can I get a breast lift and lower back lipo at the same time?

Thanks for your question. Yes, both of these procedures can be done at the same time. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, a Mastopexy (breast lift) and Liposuction can safely be performed in one procedure. We would love to help you reach your goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to create a surgical plan.

Dear Giving996032,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Lipo and breast reduction surgery are surgeries that we combine frequently and successfully. You can easily have both at the same time.

This is a great question. If you have focal areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise liposuction can be a great treatment. This can be combined with a breast lift at the same time. Furthermore, you can have the fat from lipo transferred to your breast at the time of the lift for an improvement in skin quality, shape, cleavage and very minor increase in size. Since you have a low-normal BMI, you may not have too much fat to transfer to make a big difference in size, but enough to perhaps help with shape and overall skin quality. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. Given that a patient has no significant medical problems and is healthy enough for elective surgery they should be able to undergo these two procedures simultaneously.

Yes, both can be done at the same time. The breast lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, liposuction can be performed.

Best Wishes,

Thanks for the question. I would consult with your surgeon to see if you are a liposuction candidate. If you are, there is a high possibility that you could safely combine the two.

Yes, it’s absolutely possible to combine a breast lift (mastopexy) and lower back liposuction (to target love handles) in the same surgery and it’s actually a fairly common combination, especially for patients who want to address both the upper and lower torso in one procedure.
Here’s a breakdown of what to consider:
Why It's Common to Combine These Procedures
• Single recovery period: You’ll only go through anesthesia and downtime once.
• Balanced body contouring: A breast lift enhances the upper body, while lower back liposuction defines your waistline and reduces bulging love handles — this can create a smoother hourglass silhouette.
• Efficiency: Saves time and potentially cost compared to having two separate procedures.
Your Slim Figure and BMI of 20.1
This is great from a surgical standpoint — you're in a healthy range, which usually means lower surgical risk. That said:
• Love handles at your BMI are often genetic or structural, so liposuction can be very effective in sculpting that area.
• Your surgeon will evaluate the fat distribution to ensure there’s enough subcutaneous fat to safely remove even a small amount of targeted liposuction can make a big difference on a slim frame.
Important Considerations
• Surgical Time: Combining procedures increases OR time. A healthy, low-BMI patient like you is typically a good candidate, but your surgeon will set limits to ensure safety.
• Positioning: Breast lifts are done with you on your back, while lower back liposuction is done prone (on your stomach). Experienced plastic surgeons plan accordingly.
• Recovery: You’ll likely be sore in both areas, and you may be advised to sleep on your side or use special positioning pillows for a week or two.
Next Steps
1. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon preferably one with experience in combination procedures and contouring slim frames.
2. Be clear about your goals — show photos if possible, and ask if your love handles and breast concerns can both be addressed in one operation.

Generally speaking, yes it is reasonable to have liposuction and a breast procedure done at the same time. This is assuming that you are otherwise healthy enough to consider having an elective surgery. There are a variety of techniques and strategies for both breast lifting and liposuction. At the time of consultation, you can discuss what specific breast lifting technique would be best for your anatomy as well as the specific areas that you want to target with liposuction.
