Can a person have breast augmentation and gastric sleeve performed in one surgery?

Technically I guess you could have those two surgeries together. I would not recommend that. With the gastric sleeve they'll be entering your abdomen with scopes and filling it with air that can cause great discomfort. It was also can cause distortion of the abdomen which may not give the plastic surgeon the best landscape to judge your augmentation once this done. I would separate the procedures.Good luck.Earl Stephenson Jr, M.D., DDS, FACS

Thank you for raising the question about performing breast augmentation with another procedure.  It's a common question/issue.  While it is frequently safe to do a breast augmentation with many other procedures, I don't feel it makes sense to do both of these procedures simultaneously.  Any significant weight/body changes that would occur after a sucessful gastric (stomach) weight loss operation might negatively impact breast appearance even with implants.  There is likely to be significant breast changes and drooping even with implants in place.  In addition, a gastric procedure has a different sterility classification than breast implant surgery and theoretically could negatively impact the implants.  I would separate these two particular procedures.  I inform patients to reach a stable weight before any breast/body contouring for best results.  Good luck! 

Although it is possible to perform them during the same operative time, the weight loss resulting from the gastric sleeve would outweigh the results achieved with breast augmentation.

Ideally, after the gastric sleeve is performed, once the ideal weight loss has been achieved, a year later, the patient should have a breast augmentation.
