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: 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.
