If so, is this a good idea? Any information either way would be helpful.
Answer: Tummy Tuck and Labiaplasty Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck can indeed be performed in conjunction with a labiaplasty. Patients often schedule these types of procedures together on account of the convenience of only have to go through one surgery experience instead of two. I recommend seeking out a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in both tummy tuck and labiaplasty to set up a consultation. Best wishes!

Answer: Tummy Tuck& Labiaplasty Together dear Patient: thanks for your question! I get this question a lot in my practice. Thr answer is YES! It is absolutely safe to have both procedures done together, and its actually benefitial for the patient, since 1) The recovery for the Tummy Tuck, which is a little more tedious, would take care of the labiaplasty recovery 2) The cost of combining the two procedures together will save you significant money, since you are already under general anesthesia for the Tummy Tuck, thus the Labiaplasty will cost you half or less than if you had it done alone. The most important factor to take into consideration would be to choose your Plastic Surgeon accordingly. Make surre he is 1) Board Certified by the Academy of Plastic Surgery BAPS 2) Member American Society for Plastic Surgeons ASPS 3) Fellow Academy College of Surgeons FACS 4) Member American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ASAPS Also, your surgeon should listen to what your aesthetic goals are, and explain to you all the risks and complications, and your should both agree on realistic expectations of your Procedures!

Answer: Can you have a tummy tuck and a labiaplasty during the same surgery? Absolutely. These two procedures can be performed safely during the same operation. Most patients prefer to do so, as opposed to undergoing two operations, the benefits of a single recovery and decreased expenses.My best advice: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully, as discussed above. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve your goals Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy tuck and labiaplasty Whether you CAN have these procedures together (you can) or you SHOULD have these procedures together are two different questions, and the decision should be yours alone after understanding differences in recovery, cost, and other details between having them separately vs. simultaneously. I’ve done them together for some patients, but most often separately. Labiaplasty can be accomplished under local anesthesia, tummy tuck is always general anesthesia. Doing them separately demands separate (but different) recoveries, simultaneously is one single (but slightly more difficult) recovery. Results over the long term not likely to differ.
