I'm planning to have a tummy tuck w/muscle repair and I'm also very interested in Lipo of the hips and thighs combined with a breast fat transfer.I've spoken with a few doctors locally and breast fat transfers aren't performed often here if at all. Given this, I may need to consider traveling for the breast fat transfer. What is the best order for having a tummy tuck and the breast fat transfer knowing they need to be done at different times? How far apart would I need to space the procedures?
Answer: Breast f I appreciate your question I perform a natural breast augmentation with fat. This can be removed from any unwanted areas including the breast itself as part of my lipo-lift procedure. I perform the fat grafting in multiple planes including under the muscle to give the best, most natural enhancement. Fat grafting is a great solution for someone who wants to bring their breast size up a cup or so and use natural tissue vs an implant. However, it can also be combined with an implant or used as a secondary procedure to fill in areas that are flat or thin. It does not affect mammograms or breast feeding. It can be a little lump or hard at first but tends to soften over time. Assuming you are in overall good health and cleared for elective surgery by your primary care doctor, these procedures can possibly be performed together. The best way to assess the most safe approach for you and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon

Answer: Breast fat transfer You don't need to travel. There is a Plastic Surgeon off Meridian who does numerous fat grafting procedures. It would make sense to have those procedure done at the same time if possible but an in person consultation would be needed.

Answer: Breast Fat Transfer with liposuction and tummy tuck You may be able to combine those as one procedure depending upon the extent. Otherwise, can do tummy tuck first then liposuction with fat grafting weeks to months after.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Breast Fat Transfer Hi and thank you for your questions. Assuming you are an otherwise healthy female and barring unusual circumstances, liposuction with fat transfer to the breast can be performed together with a tummy tuck a the same time. The limiting factors are length of surgery, patient health and surgeon comfort in performing these operations together. Best you meet with a plastic surgeon in person who can examine you and disucss your options in detail. Best of luck!
