Can I do all three in one surgery? I believe I have a small umbilical hernia. I do have decent three finger ab separation, rib to pubic bone, it's deep, three knuckles. I'm debating a very small boob job. I'm a tiny 36a, and I'd only want a small B. I don't want a boob job, but my husband would really like me to get one. Help with some minimal sagging after breastfeeding all our kids.

Answer: Combination of procedures Dear randomstuff088, I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Answer: Combining procedures I routinely combine standard abdominoplasty with rectus diastasis repair (including umbilical hernia repair) and breast augmentation. It is important to know that performing an umbilical hernia repair at the same time as an abdominoplasty can increase the risk of umbilical necrosis (belly button death). If your goal is for a small breast augmentation, you may be a candidate for fat grafting using your own tissue rather than an implant. An in person examination will help you choose the right combination of procedures.
