Thank you for your question. As far as cost is concerned, it depends upon the geographical area in which you live as well as the experience/expertise of the surgeon as well as the patient's individual goals. It is typically more cost effective to combine procedures as there will be one OR and anesthesia fee. I recommend that you consult with a couple of Board Certified Plastic surgeon's in your area in order to come to an informed decision and help to come up with a surgical plan best for you and your budget. Recovery and restrictions are 3 weeks without pushing, pulling, or lifting anything over 5 pounds. After three week we tell our patients light treadmill, and stationary bike.12 weeks if fully healed, no restrictions but still listen to your body to take it easy. However, I recommend you follow your surgeons instructions for restrictions. Good luck!Andrew T. Lyos, MD, FACS
