I have been wanting to get a Tummy Tuck with lipo and a breast lift (mommy makeover) done for sometime, and now that I am ready to start the process I find out I need to have a Hysterectomy due to fibroids. Can these be done together? If not which one should I do first and how long do I have to wait from one surgery to the other? Thanks in advance!
Answer: Aesthetic surgery and hysterectomy can be performed together in selected patients. The general answer is yes but specific to you it's impossible to say. Difficulty of the hysterectomy in the magnitude of the elective cosmetic cases will decide whether or not you are a good candidate.

Answer: Hysterectomy With a Mommy Makeover Combined operations in general have a higher #complication rate and its difficult to determine what the possible complication rate can be. That being said, some doctors are not always in agreement to #combine #gynecology and #cosmetic procedures together in one surgery time.

Answer: Mommy makeover and hysterectomy Thank you for your question. A mommy makeover is a great procedures to combine with a hysterectomy as they address some of big changes that happen after pregnancy and addresses the concerns with fibroids. It is a bigger procedure and may often require a night in the hospital. I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options in more detail and would recommend combining the procedure as you will only have one recovery. I would also ensure that your gynecologist and plastic surgeon discuss your specific situation together to ensure that it can be done safely.

Answer: Combining procedures Combining these procedures is possible and safe. However, this will probably mean a hospital stay, which may increase your cost. Hysterectomies can be done a variety of methods, not necessarily with an incision through the abdomen. If this is not the case, you may want to consider have the procedures in two separate surgical sessions.

Answer: Is combining Hysterectomy and a Mommy Makeover safe? Thank you for the question.Yes the two procedures can be combined assuming you have cooperative plastic surgeon and OB/GYN physicians involved.The advantages of combining the procedure involve a single procedure, a single recovery and potential cost savings. The disadvantages include a higher risk of clotting ( deep venous thrombosis) and/or infection. In my practice, I would recommend staging the procedure; have the hysterectomy performed first followed by the tummy tuck surgery several months subsequently.I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
