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.

Thank you for your question.  I typically approach these two procedures in a staged fashion.  I will perform a body lift (with an overnight stay) at the first stage.  This is followed by a breast lift (with or without implants) and arm lift (if requested).  The third stage would be an inner thigh lift if desired.  A face and neck lift can be done as well.  Each patient has different goals and things that may bother them more than the other, so there can be some variation to the order after the body lift is done.  A body lift and breast lift can cost upwards of $20,000 depending on the extent of work to be done.  An in person consult will better help define these costs. I recommend seeking a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in these types of procedures.Best Wishes,Dr. Joseph

Without a physical exam or at least posted photos- it's difficult to comment accurately. Generally speaking, procedures such as-abdominoplasty and breast procedures can be performed at the same time- provided you are a candidate and cleared for surgery. Seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person exam/ consultation .

Combination surgery can be done; but it needs to be done safely.
Depending on your size and extent of surgery, body lift and breast
augmentation with lift may take 7-8 hours. If you are healthy and
medically optimized, body lift and breast surgery can be done at the
same time safely. If you want to stage your surgery (breast first
and body lift later or vice versa), that would be fine as well. Many
patients prioritize their surgery depending on their needs. Doing one
part of surgery before another does not affect the outcome of one
surgery. Please get the surgery that you want the most first. Visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out about your candidacy for the surgery.Best wishes.

Multiple procedures can be done safely, but it
depends on your health
status (past medical history), your anatomy, and the amount of
surgery/type of procedures to be done. It is not uncommon to combine
breast surgery with a lower body lift. A circumferential body lift
typically takes me 5 hours and breast surgery can taken 1-2.5 hours
depending on what exactly needs to be done (augmentation alone vs an
augmentation with a full breast lift). That said, it is fine to opt
for your body lift first and come back in the future for your breast lift too. To give you best advice requires an in-person consultation.
Please see a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience
with body and breast contouring after weight loss.Best wishes,Dr. BasuHouston, TX

In patients with good health it is possible to perform breast and body contouring procedures. the logistics during surgery add time due to the prone/supine position.
