Breast lift & liposculpting: 2 procedures in 1. Any disadvantages?

If money is no option, 2 procedures are optimal if you have a significant amount of lifting of the breast needed. It is possible to do the 2 procedures at the same time & of course your surgeon will attempt to make your breasts as close to perfect as possible but mastopexys are long tedious procedures and sometimes tissue swells and the fat transferred to the breast may or may not survive and be completely symmetrical. If you choose to do both together, that’s okay too, just keep in mind that there’s always the possibility you may need a touch up procedure to achieve your goal breasts.

Hi-Thank you for submitting your question. There are no real disadvantages. The only possible risk is a chance of injury to the blood supply to the nipple and areola. I'm sure your plastic surgeon will take great care to minimize this risk. I always recommend discussing any concerns you have with your board certified plastic surgeon.Best of luck with your procedure!Dr. Rodriguez

Dear trianglesquare,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Dear trianglesquare,
Thank you for your question about the potential disadvantages of undergoing a breast lift and liposculpting simultaneously in one surgical session.
Advantages of Combining Procedures:
Combining a breast lift (mastopexy) with liposculpting can be advantageous, particularly if you are in good health.
Undergoing both procedures together can be more efficient, reducing the total recovery time compared to having two separate surgeries.
It also means undergoing anesthesia once rather than twice, which can be beneficial for your overall health and recovery.
Preoperative Assessment:
Prior to the surgery, comprehensive lab tests and a physical examination will be conducted to ensure your suitability for the combined procedure.
No Significant Disadvantages Noted:
There are no notable disadvantages to combining these procedures, as long as you are deemed a suitable candidate based on your health status.
In conclusion, if you are healthy and your preoperative evaluations are favorable, having a breast lift and liposculpting in one session can be a practical and effective approach.
I hope this response has addressed your concerns and assisted in your decision-making process. Wishing you a successful surgery and a smooth recovery.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

it is common to liposuction with a breast lift. Common areas are armpit, arms and bra fat/upper back. The fat won't redistribute after liposuction.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Hi! this is Arzu from Dr. Caner Kacmaz clinic. You can do the both surgeries in the same time, so you will get just one anesthesia maybe ı can bother you a bit but the pain is controlled with medicines and you your recovery will be in once
Kind regards

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. There is no difference in fat survival between the two scenarios. This is more likely dependent on surgical technique and postop care.

Fat grafting can help add volume to breasts that need a lift without using implants. It is a modest increase in size but it can be very beneficial.

Dear trianglesquare, thanks for sharing your concern, I do not see any disadvantage in doing both procedures toguether on the contrary will be providede better shape to you breast and body. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.
