I also need liposuction on my love handles if possible at the time of tummy tuck. Im not sure if its best to get one done before the other and what is the amount of recommended time I should wait before the two surgeries.
Answer: Breast reduction or tummy tuck first? Tummy tuck and breast reduction can be combined, unless there is a specific reason that you would like to separate the two procedures. If one is covered by insurance, and the other is self-pay, the hospital and physician can bill insurance for the covered portion of the operation. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to schedule a consultation for more information. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Multiple procedures. Some Advices: Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. In my practice I usually perform both procedures in the same surgery. For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for breast reduction and tummy tuck at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI and no history of diseases that increase the surgical / anesthetic risk degree.Finally, I recommend you a skilled certified plastic surgeon in body contouring surgery and experienced in cases like yours where the planned operating time is less than five hours.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Breast Reduction first or Tummy Tuck First? In my opinion, it is very reasonable to get both procedures performed at the same time. Please check with your surgeon as to his or her preferences.

Answer: Is it better to have breast reduction or tummy tuck first? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, these types of combination surgical procedures are done routinely. However, you are wise in being concerned about the safety of combination surgery; risks/possible complications do increase with increased length of surgery…

Answer: Breast reduction and/or tummy tuck In our practice, we have optimized our routine for doing these procedures so much that we most often performed them at the same time for patients who are good candidates for both procedures. In other words, it is not necessary to do them separately if it has been determined by us that you are a good candidate for the surgery, and you are healthy for the operation.
