I am a very healthy 27 year old mother of 3. Finally done having babies and am begining to plan my mommy makeover. I am currently a few weeks out from weaning my youngest and know that I need to wait a few months before i schedule my surgery. I will need a tummy tuck, breast lift with implants, and thinking about a thigh lift. I am 5'4" 134lbs. There is a small pocket of loose skin on each of my inner thighs that I just can't seem to tighten. Is it safe to combine these surgeries?

Answer: Mommy Makeover Option - Combo Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift/Augmentation and Thigh Lift Different surgeons will recommend different procedures including doing more than one at a time. Some surgeons also differ in ability, time it takes to do the same procedure and general. It makes this a difficult choice for patients. It is true that longer procedures have an increased risk especially if over 4 hours. Based on my own experience I would do all of the procedures at once as long as it takes 4 or less hours. For me, a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with breast lift and limited inner thigh skin reduction/lift will usually l take less than 4 hours as I use an assistant to save time, so I recommend this be done in one surgery for my patients. This would be a common request for a Mommy Makeover.I have performed many of these combination procedures over the past few decades and think it is a great idea without significant increased complications

Answer: Mommy Makeover Safety
Thank you for the question.
Congratulations on your decision to proceed with the Mommy Makeover Procedure.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you precise advice without examination or good quality pictures. Generally speaking, I would not do all of the procedures that you have listed in 1 stage. It is possible to do the breast and tummy tuck surgery in 1 session. I would do the thigh lifting in a 2nd session. It would behoove you to meet with several board certified plastic surgeons to discuss in more detail.
I hope this helps.

Answer: A little bit of a lot of surgery, best way to "Mommy Makeover"
All three surgeries you mention can be big and involved. However at your height and weight, in your case none of the procedures prohibit multiple, simultaneous surgeries. My question is, thigh lift? Really? Unless you once weighted a lot, and I mean a lot more, you probably don't need that. True mommy makeover is breasts and tummy. And it sounds like you have a good plan. Pick a good doctor and you are on your way.
