I am in need of a breast lift ( I'm a size D) and a full tummy tuck. My concern is since they are done together, I will be put under for a long time (6 + hrs) and that is close to the limit of 7 hours because of potential risks. Would it be better to separate them for less time under anesthesia and also for a better, more detailed job? Also, do doctors perform lipo on belly during a tummy tuck? I'm not excessively overweight; I just gained all my weight only in belly. Thanks for your professional opinion!
Answer: Tummy tuck and breast l,ift Hello dear, thanks for your question! A tummy tuck and breast lift is a great combination of surgeries to be done at the same time. I frequently do these together and also do liposuction of the hips and abdomen. When appropriate I will even preform liposuction of other parts of the body such as lateral back, lateral thighs, medial thighs and knees. If the patient is in good health without any medial problems there should be no problem with this amount of surgery as long as it can be completed in less then 6 hours. I ask my patients to have an evaluation by their primary care physician to clear them for surgery. While there are more risks with the longer surgery, I believe that the risks of multiple surgeries is also a problem. There is also the problem of multiple recovery periods with multiple different procedures.Make sure you are in the hand of a well trained and experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has done a good number of these combined procedures. Best wiches and good luck :)

Answer: Is it best to have tummy tuck and breast lift surgery separately or at the same time? Provided a patient is healthy and all necessary clearances are obtained, in our Practice we often perform these procedures at the same time. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person evaluation

Answer: Mommy Makeover: Tummy Tuck and Augmentation Mastopexy A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. #MummyTummy is a term given to modified tummy tucks which can use liposuction and skin tightening with radiofrequency such Vanquish, Vela3, thermage, thermiRF and others. The actual fat contouring can be done non-surgically as well with #UltraShape or Cool-Sculpting. The intentional result of a Breast Lift (#Mastopexy) is to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used especially for breasts which sag or droop (#ptosis) as a result of aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. However, many women report more satisfaction if an implant is used at the time of #mastopexy. The implants further shape their breasts, restoring superior fullness or volume which may be decreased over time.In regards to implants alone, this is usually said to be mistake by patients reflecting back at the decision. Most breasts will look larger and more droopy with solely implants. They will sag more and sooner, due to the sudden and excess weight. At times it's possible for a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble to develop as a result.Always talk to a Plastic Surgeon to discuss your issues and concerns. Information that you read online may not apply to your situation. Make sure your surgeon is boarded by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.

Answer: Combination Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift Thank you for your question.Yes, a tummy tuck and a breast lift can be performed at the same time, and often is. It can be done safely, and the doctor can still do a "detailed job". Abdominal liposuction is also done frequently in my practice as part of an abdominoplasty, so that is typically not a problem, either.I recommend visiting with several board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss your options and their approaches to give you the result you desire. Best of luck!
