Is it possible to have a tubal ligation and breast augmentation done at the same time? (No iud/essure!)

I have found that sometimes your perceived savings may actually lead to increased cost.  If you are having the tubal ligation at a surgery center not affiliated with a hospital, you may be able to save money.  If you are having the tubal ligation at a hospital, it may actually cost more because of the way the hospital charges for the augmentation.  So while it makes no sense, you may save money by having separate surgeries.

Having your insurance company pick up the tab for the breast augmentation OR and aesthesis, is insurance fraud.  I don't recommend trying to cheat the system. 

Hello,Thank you for the question. This is possible. Logistics and cost will be determined with your operating surgeons. All the best 

Thank you for your question and I can appreciate your desire to have a single operation with both procedures performed at the same time. It does result in some cost savings as well as only one recovery.  The two procedures can be performed together but it will require coordination by a willing ob/gyn and plastic surgeon to do so.  Hope that this helps.

The answer to this is somewhat complicated and involves a lot of variables.  I would suggest you start with your OB/GYN and ask him or her if there are any plastic surgeons he or she has worked with in the past and who has privileges to perform breast augmentation at the facility where you plan to have your TL.  However, keep in mind that most facility fees are based on time, so if the plastic surgeon is slow to perform the BA, it could end up costing more than performing the BA in an office-based OR.  You will need to get a referral from your OB/GYN then discuss the possibility of combining the surgery with the plastic surgeon.  Insurance will not pay for any part of the augmentation as it will be considered cosmetic.  Best of luck!
