Interested in a breast augmentation but starting to think more seriously about a TT/MR/Lipo. I can’t really fathom doing that all plus breast augmentation together. Is there a reason it’s better to do it as one surgery vs two? If I do the augmentation first, will my body change so much from the TT that the implants won’t look right any longer? Is it more cost effective together?

Answer: Combining Procedures Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, it is very common and safe to combine those procedures together. The term "mommy makeover" usually implies a surgery on the abdomen and one on the breasts. There can be other areas/procedures combined dependent on patients' needs and priorities. Most people combine procedures to have one downtime rather than two, as well as bundle some cost savings on facility/anesthesia fees. However, it is perfectly acceptable and safe to do surgery in multiple stages/separate times.

Answer: MMO w/breast aug or separate surgery for augmentation? Thanks so much for your inquire, Combining both procedures into a single surgery can be an effective approach for patients who want to achieve comprehensive results quickly and are in good health. However, it requires careful planning and a clear understanding of the risks, especially in terms of longer anesthesia times and a potentially more difficult recovery. The decision should be based on the patient's health, recovery capacity, and goals. Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Answer: Combo vs single procedure surgeries You can safely undergo a breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction at the same time. Most women opt to have these as a combined procedure to #1, minimize recoveries, and #2, minimize cost. Instead of needing to take time off of work, exercise, etc to recover twice, it is typically easier to combine it into 1 recovery. If you feel strongly about breaking them up, as long as you have an idea of what your goal breast size is, keeping in mind that removing excess abdominal tissue can make the breasts appear larger, you can still get a fantastic result. The other option is to undergo the tummy tuck first and the augmentation to follow. Ultimately it's a personal preference. Best of luck in your cosmetic journey!
