I am wanting to get a breast lift. About 5 years ago I had lipo on my stomach and there is some extra skin on my stomach that healed weird. Wondering if I get a breast lift and there will already been an incision there, if the stomach skin could get pulled up at the same time and give me a flatter stomach?
Answer: Best Option for You! Hello In breast lift surgery, the most common incision is the inverted T, and this incision never meets on the sternum. In reverse abdominoplasty, however, the incision comes from under the breasts towards the midline and does meet at the sternum. Both procedures can, of course, be performed together.

Answer: Breast Lift & Reverse Tummy Tuck Thanks for your question. Yes, you can combine a breast lift with a reverse tummy tuck. That said, a reverse tummy tuck only addresses loose abdominal skin and fat above the belly button. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast lift & reverse tummy tuck Dear 29292929, I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Answer: Breast lift & reverse tummy tuck? Could the stomach skin get pulled up at the same time? Thanks so much for your question, breast lift (mastopexy) and a reverse tummy tuck can be performed simultaneously, and it’s possible for the stomach skin to be pulled up as part of the reverse tummy tuck procedure. Because the incisions for both procedures can be located in the same area (beneath the breasts), it’s possible to perform both a breast lift and a reverse tummy tuck during the same surgery. The upper abdominal skin can be pulled upward and tightened at the same time that the breasts are lifted. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to explore this option further and develop a customized surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals. Sincerely, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Answer: Combined Reverse tummy tuck and mastopexy. You would definitely benefit from a breast lift, but I would not recommend a reverse tummy tuck at the same time. Placing tension lifting the abdominal skin along the breast fold increases the chance of wound breakdown. Another thing to think about - your abdomen looks nearly perfect. I would suggest focusing on the breasts, and leave the abdomen alone.
