That would depend on what your definition of mommy makeover is and what type of hysterectomy you have. I think most plastic surgeons would be willing to do a tummy tuck at the same operation as a hysterectomy. I don't think most plastic surgeons would be willing to place breast implants at the same time as a hysterectomy. I for one would be worried about infecting the implant. My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
The time between having electoral #cosmetic surgery after a major surgery depends on the surgery. Its best to consult with the surgeon or specialist you recently had the major surgery with to gain perspective as to when cosmetic surgery can be scheduled. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. All surgical procedures carry some degree of #risk. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation. The suitability of your procedures and any specific risks may be determined during you #consultation.
It’s not unusual for patients to undergo abdominoplasty andhysterectomy in combination.Thisprocedure can be performed safely and yields excellent results.The combination of hysterectomy and MommyMakeover is a much larger procedure.Unfortunately, this procedure will require more time in the operatingroom and raises concern about safety.For this reason, these procedures should probably be staged to minimizethe potential for complications. Aperiod of six to eight weeks between procedures would be appropriate providingthe first procedure was uncomplicated.It’s also important to note that delaying the Mommy Makeover might haveother advantages.Under these circumstances,this cosmetic procedure could be performed in an outpatient surgery center.This might translate into significantfinancial savings.
I would not recommend performing a breast procedure especially one with an implant at the same time as a hysterectomy. The chance for infection is increased and not worth the risk.If you had a vaginal hysterectomy with an uncomplicated recovery it would be reasonable to proceed with a Mommy Make Over 6-8 weeks later.If however you underwent an abdominal hysterectomy I would recommend waiting 8-12 months to allow for complete healing of the abdominal wall. Good luck
It is more and more common to get a tummy tuck at the same time as a hysterectomy. Although it seems there is a slight increased risk of infection, it is not so high that I discourage the combination. It is just a matter of being well informed. I would generally not recommend also adding a breast procedure at the same time.For more information, please go to my website at:WirthPlasticSurgery.com
Hi, If your OB-GYN doctor feels that the combination procedures are safe for you, then it would be my recommendation that you do the combination procedure. Unless you are very large or need a breast reduction, then breast and body surgery can all be done at the same time. I do not feel that an extra hour or so on your breasts combined with the tummy tuck and lipo would cause much of a difficulty. I understand that it sounds risky but you need to compare this to multiple anesthesia risks. These too can be argued are very small. Case by case basis. If you are a smaller mom with a 1 1/2 hour tummy tuck and an hour breast surgery, why not. If you need more extensive body contouring and breast contouring, then perhaps break them up. There is no question as far as cost that a combined surgery will save a significant amount of money but this should not be the primary reason for combining.
Thank you for the question. Assuming you are in good health and medically “cleared” for a longer procedure than these two procedures can be safely done at the same time. I would personally not do more than these two ( for example no additional breast surgery) at the same time. I hope this helps.
The most common aesthetic procedure that is performed at the same time as a hysterectomy is an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) If the patient is deemed by the plastic surgeon, to be a good candidate from a health and safety standpoint. These two procedures can be combined effectively. If the procedures are to be done separately, I would suggest waiting several months between the hysterectomy and the abdominoplasty.
Do the Hysterectom and abdominoplasty together. The second procedures are cleaner less infection, Do the beast may be liposuction if you need it.Each surgery 6-8 weeks apart or when you are physicaly and psychlogicaly ready. Choose your surgeons carefully. Patient safety comes first.Not necessarly the fastest that can do all in one cession, regardless of results and patient safety.
A mommy makeover generally includes, at a minimum, a tummy tuck and breast augmentation/lift. I understands the benefits of one anesthetic and recovery, but when you add the complexity and risks of the procedures together, I believe the risks outweigh the benefits. These risks include, infection, bleeding, and blood clots. Just because they can be done together does not mean they should be. Safety first! Eight weeks between procedures would be more than enough. Good Luck.
