Which one would you recommend to do first; Tummy tuck or breast augmentation? (I am not doing both at the same time)

Thanks for your question.  Since you can't do them both at the same time (which would be ideal), in my opinion, you should start with the body part that bothers you more.  If it was me, I would start with the tummy tuck.  You might find that your small breasts don't bother you as much once you have a flat tummy.  It also addresses your concern of scar displacement.  Best of luck!

Thank you for the question. To combine these procedures is a safe approach and can save you time and costs. The Breast augmentation and tummy tuck are done independently of each other and will not effect your results. Consider both and obtain a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeoy

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair.  The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.  

#Combined operations are often performed with our #Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with a #MommyMakeover. If you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your physician and board-certified plastic surgeon. Also, combining these #procedures may decrease anesthetics, costs, and recovery time.

Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

If you're staggering the procedures I don't see any advantage in doing one over the other. A properly performed abdominoplasty will not displace a breast augmentation scar. You might want to consider having both done at the same time.

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,

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.

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.

I do not think that there are strategic reasons to complete either of the surgeries first. The concern about scar migration should not be much of an issue and certainly not one that would affect my decision about which procedure to complete first. Start with the procedure that is of most concern to you. Best wishes.

In my opinion, it does not really matter which you have done first.  Just choose which procedure you would like to have done more and then plan on having the other procedure done later.

Choose the area that bothers you the most. Likely, you'll get the biggest bang for your buck with the tummy tuck.
