I plan to have an under breast incision for the augmentation. I read somewhere that if a breast augmentation is done first, the scar from the augmentation will be pulled down when the tummy tuck skin is pulled down. Is this true? Thank you!!! (having both surgeries done at the same time is not an option for me)

Answer: Tummy tuck, breast augmentation, which to do first? That is not true but I would recommend that you have the tummy tuck first. The reason is this, once you contour your abdomen, your breasts may appear larger and this may influence your decision regarding implant size for breast augmentation.Best of luck,

Answer: Which to do first? Scar migration should not be an issue. I don't believe there is a necessary timing of the two surgeries, they could be done in any order. I would suggest to pick the procedure that you want the most and makes more sense with your schedule. The recovery from your breasts will be shorter and easier than your tummy tuck. Depending who is helping you after your surgery, this may influence your choice.

Answer: Breast augmentation and tummy tuck Thank you for your question. Ideally, you should have both procedures done at the same time to avoid any decisions on your breasts as implants maybe placed through your tummy tuck incision (TABA). I recommend undergoing tummy tuck procedure first as you may lose weight after which may affect your breast size.
