Dr. told me I needed to have bunion surgery on both feet a few years ago, I have been putting it off. Am in too much pain to put it off any longer. Could I have breast augmentation, and tummy tuck at the same time as I have one the foot surgeries? Or one of the elective surgeries with each foot surgery? Thank you.

Answer: Mommy makeover is the same time as bunion surgery.
The determining factor for recovery after these two procedures is the tummy tuck. My patients usually require at least some minimal help for the first five days and then, soon thereafter, can be quite independent with driving and being able to leave the home and take care of themselves.
Healing will continue for 2-3 months for the early period. This includes some swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences. Sensation in the breasts may also be abnormal and scars will be evolve. Tingling, burning or shooting pains in the breasts will disappear with time and should not...
It seems like you are doing all that one can do to help prevent hypertrophic and pigmented scars. The only other thing is to stay out of the sun completely. That is just not practical. Good Luck.
