Can Lipo of Abdomen AND Breast Lift Be Done @ the Same Time?

Yes, liposuction of the abdomen and breast lift can be done at the same time.  The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift is a new technique, which avoids the ugly vertical scars of the lollipop or boat anchor shaped incisions.  Another advantage is it reshapes your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevates them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Aligning the areola and breast tissue over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection, which gives the appearance of augmentation.  You may be a candidate for this new procedure.

The two procedures can certainly be performed at the same time.  My general rule is not to combine procedures if it will take over six hours of surgery.  The combination you have described can easily be done within that time and will be safe to do so.  Good luck!

   Yes, I combine the two frequently.  The key is to find a plastic surgeon who creates excellent results in both and does them in a safe time period.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts and liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
