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 is a great idea to lessen recovery time.
Usually a longer surgery like this is OK as long as you are healthy as you say you are. Combining tummy tuck and breast augmentation along with other surgeries has become extremely popular these days. Combining the surgeries lessens your recovery time in the long run versus having the surgeries separate and saves on OR costs. I recommend you schedule a consultation at least 6 months after you are completely finished nursing.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Combining tummy tuck, breast lift with implants, and thigh lift? Hello! Thank you for your question! These procedures can be effectively and safely performed in one setting. The breasts and tummy tuck are commonly performed together, often referred to as the "mommy makeover". If you are healthy and your surgeon decides that s/he could perform the procedures in a safe time for you, these procedures certainly can be done in one stage. Staging the procedures to have them performed at various times will likely not have any cost benefit for you. When you combine procedures, there is often a discount that is provided by the surgeon for multiple procedures. Also, when having multiple procedures performed at the same time, you save on anesthesia and facility fees, which otherwise are paid for with each individual procedure. In addition, you may benefit by the single recovery time. It is your decision as to whether you have your procedures performed in one or multiple stages, but your surgeon will give his/her recommendations. These are procedures that take several hours each to perform, and consideration for staging into 2 settings may be wise. I would consult with a plastic surgeon well-versed in these procedures and discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what your options are as well as have an examination. Your safety is ultimately the most important factor and is always on the mind of your surgeon when making such decisions. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Mommy Makeover Surgery: Combination of Breast & Body Procedures The mommy makeover is one of the most popular operations performed by plastic surgeons. The procedure is a combination of cosmetic breast surgery, liposuction and abdominoplasty. It has been designed to correct changes that occur normally with pregnancy. In some cases, other procedures may be added to improve the overall result. When loose thigh skin is encountered, a thigh lift can improve the result. Tummy tuck, breast lift with implants and thigh lifts can be performed safely together when the procedure is performed in less then six hours. When patients have co existing medical problems, they should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation before surgery. Depending upon the results of these studies, it may be appropriate to stage these procedures in some cases. There are multiple advantages in performing these procedures in combination. These include an improved overall result, lowered cost, and a single recovery. Patients typically report increased self esteem, self image, and an overall improvement in the quality of their lives. For these reasons, the mommy makeover is one of the most popular operations that is currently performed in plastic surgery.

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.
