How Long is the Surgery for a Combined Mini Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation?

Aug 29, 2011

What factors would prevent having a mini tummy tuck and breast augmentation together? If patients have had no prior surgery, would it be recommended to just have one surgery at a time then? Is the type of breast augmentation the biggest factor?

Typically a 200cc volume increase will increase you a cup size, but to be sure, you should do some implant sizing so you can get a better visualization of the volume before having surgery.  We always do sizing with our patients prior to their surgery so they have a very good idea of the volume ...
