Typically an abdominoplasty will have no effect on the breasts. The extent of the work done for a tummy tuck is well below the creases of the breasts and should have no impact on the appearance of the breasts. Best of luck!
Thank you for your question. Having a tummy tuck will not affect your breasts in any way. Many women choose to have a mommy makeover where they have a breast augmentation or lift and tummy tuck at the same time, otherwise, one will not affect the other.

The best answer is "it depends." If the surgeon goes high up on the abdomen to the ribs to tighten the skin and muscles (generally this is good) and you have a lot of upper abdominal laxity I have seen the breast folds pulled down slightly. This is most common in patients who have lost large amounts of weight (i.e. over 50lbs.)These are typically small changes, and can affect the breast implant incision, and I haven't see it make a breast actually sag.
Undergoing an abdominoplasty should have no effect on your breasts at all. It might lower the fold of the breast a tiny bit, but that is it. Your breast folds sit up on your rib cage, while an abdominoplasty stops at your ribs itself. I hope this helps.
Typically having a tummy tuck will not affect your breasts to any degree. Many women combine their tummy tuck with breast surgery to enhance both areas at the same time
Thank you for your question. Tummy Tuck will not cause sagging of breasts or worsening of sagging of breasts. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation and to discuss your goals.
No, a tummy tuck does not cause the breasts to sag. In some individual they can pull on the breast fold a bit, but this is more common in massive weight loss patients.
A tummy tuck will not change breast position or cause breasts to sag. See examples in the link below.
A traditional abdominoplasty where the soft tissue of the anterior abdomen is pulled down in some situations may cause the infra-mammary fold of the breast to descend. This depends on where the loose tissue is on the abdomen, how firmly or loosely the fold is attached to the deeper structures, and how aggressive the abdominoplasty is.This can also possibly affect the planned location of an implant if that is to be used. Most abdominoplasties where the dissection stops short of the fold will not have an appreciable affect on the breast gland itself.
I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with your insurance. You are not alone most tummy tuck surgery is performed outside of insurance. If you have been denied then the problem is with your insurance not with your PS. There is really nothing more to add. These companies don't want to pay for...
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, a Tummy Tuck is considered cosmetic and not medical. It is not medically necessary. However, there are other financial options like Care Credit. Dhaval M. PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago
Snatched is a term that I have recently heard in my office. While the term is new the goals of the liposculpting and Brazilian Butt Lift are not. The vast majority of my patients want to have have a tiny (snatched) waist and a perkier, more full butt and hips. In the Brazilian Butt Lift ...
Fat that feels firmer generally has more connective tissue and is a bit more difficult to remove. In your particular case some of the upper abdominal prominence may be due to intraperitoneal fat which can only be lost by weight loss or by the specifics of your skeletal anatomy. The
Thank you for this great question! This is something I am often discussing with patients during consultations. Patients who are working hard to lose weight and hit a plateau often think that they should just have surgery and then just lose the rest of the weight afterwards. This is flawed ...
Hello Barbiegurl, You ask a very good question and that I am sure many people have wondered about. The short answer is YES it can be safe! I would just make sure its a residency for plastic surgery being run by actual plastic surgeons. Every plastic surgeon has been a resident at some point in ...
