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: 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.
