Can a lower body lift and a breast lift be done in 1 procedure?

You can technically combine almost any procedures.  With that said, I do not generally combine body lift and breast lift procedures.  The body lift is a long procedure and has significant recovery.  Combining additional procedures will only lengthen the operative time.I would discuss with an experienced body contouring surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Best,Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL

Thank you for your question about whether a 360 circumferential lower body lift can be performed with a breast lift in one procedure. The answer is yes; you can undergo a 360 circumferential body and breast lift. It is essential to coordinate with your plastic surgeon. Plastic surgeons have different specialties, and those specializing in reconstructive surgery after massive weight loss can perform such procedures. That does not mean all plastic surgeons can perform this procedure due to training, experience, time constraint, and creating an efficient surgical team and post-operative care, insuring patient safety. The lower body lift takes about six hours; a breast lift is variable. There are different kinds of breast lifts: crescent, lollipop, and inverted T or anchor mastopexy.
Regarding cost, you will need to consult with plastic surgeons in your area. If you cannot find an expert in your local area, consider traveling to insure the best results. Thank you for your question regarding whether a lower body lift can be combined with a breast lift in one procedure.

It's difficult to suggest without a in-person one-on-one consultation. The 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.

While these procedures could technically be done all at once, I don't recommend this.  The many hours required for this make it difficult for you as a patient, and also for the surgeon.Recovery time is quite long for the body lift, and I personally will stage even this to make sure the patient has an easier time recovering, and can heal better.  These procedures required good health and can be quite taxing to recover from, even for a young healthy person.  In the end, your health is more important than just getting it done.  You may actually save time in the long run.Seek a board certified plastic surgeon who has done these procedures, and listen to their reasoning for whether they would do it all at once or not.  Typically the places that would consider one stage surgery in the USA are affiliated with residency or fellowship programs and utilize many assistants to improve the amount of time it takes to complete the procedure.  

hello, and thank you for your question. As a general rule we recommend staging these procedures. There had been certain instances where they have been performed together in patients that have excellent health and understand that it may necessitate prolonged recovery. I would recommend she seek out a qualified surgeon with expertise in these procedures. Best of luck.
