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: Timing breast reduction and tummy tuck If one procedure is cosmetic and the other reconstructive, the surgicenters in New York will not permit the combination for insurance and pricing issues is the reduction is not self pay. Many patients opt for the reduction, which is covered by insurance, first and then have subsequent tummy tucks. Ideally, I prefer to perform the tummy tuck first and then decide on the breast size based on what would be in proportion to the new abdomen. A minimum of two months should separate the procedures.

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.-

However, you are wise in being concerned about the safety of combination surgery; risks/possible complications do increase with increased length of surgery…
