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: 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!

Answer: Tummy tuck and breast lift together A tummy tuck and breast lift is what we call a Mommy Makeover. This is not an uncommon pairing of procedures even though it may take awhile. It is also better economically if you can do the procedure as one surgery rather than too. I would suggest that you visit one or two board-certified plastic surgeons who can examine you in person and review your options with you.
