I have wanted a breast reduction for a while and now after having kids I would like to get a tummy tuck and lipo 360. My insurance will cover a breast reduction. If I were to get the breast reduction done at the same time as the tummy tuck and lipo 360, would this reduce my out of pocket cost for the TT and L360?
Answer: If I get a breast reduction at the same time as a TT and lipo 360, will it reduce my out of pocket cost? These two procedures can be performed by an expert at both procedures at the same time (6 hours or less) with favorable outcome, one recovery, and less expense. If you have reached a safe, stable weight (BMI 30 or less), and are otherwise healthy, you can be considered for tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery at the same time.

Answer: Breast reduction with tummy tuck and 360 lipo Thank you for your question. There is often a significant reduction in cost when procedures are combined. The main concern, however, is safety when you combine such major procedures. Your safety will have to be carefully assessed by your surgeon and your primary care Physician.

Answer: Combining breast reduction, TT and lip 360 Hi, And thank you for the question. It is definitely common combining breast reduction surgery and other cosmetic procedures at the same time. With insurance covering the breast reduction surgery that typically covers the anesthesia cost as well, so the overall cost for the cosmetic anesthesia portion of the procedure may be slightly reduced, but not by much unfortunately. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Insurance breast reduction with cosmetic tummy tuck and lipo For my patients, I tell them that I don't know what their agreement is with their insurance plan for payment for surgeries and deductibles. So I don't know what the final cost will be for their breast reduction. For the cosmetic portion of tummy tuck with lipo, it is quoted in hours of time, so that cost becomes fixed. I often do an insurance breast reduction and a cosmetic tummy tuck together (a kind of mommy makeover). However, we document the time when we switch to cosmetic. So they end up being very different, clear surgeries and there is not much cost advantage to doing it with the insurance portion. Hope this helps.
