Yes, these procedures can be
combined safely in a healthy patient. The cost for this combination varies by
geographical location and surgical factors like time spent under anesthesia. I recommend
meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and
pricing. Best of luck.

A breast reduction can be safely combined with abdominal liposuction while you are asleep during a general anesthesia. Cost for this combination depends on surgeon expertise, geographic area and other factors.

Doing breast surgery an liposuction at the same time is common and not an issue as long as you are a candidate for both procedures.  I would not worry about having both procedures done, and I would recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic surgeon for an assessment regarding your operations.  Good Luck!Dr. L

It is ok to perform a breast reduction and liposuction to the abdomen concurrently, provided that you are medically healthy enough.  A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help you to understand your options.  Best wishes.

It is perfectly fine to do the breast reduction and liposuction of the abdomen at the same surgery if you are otherwise healthy. Most patients experience a dramatic relief from their discomfort after the reduction. At 60 years of age many patients that do liposuction of the abdomen without skin tightening procedures will notice a significant loosening of the skin so be sure you will be OK with that.

Mary Lee Peters, MD (retired) · Answer

Women with large breasts often have a body build that tends to carry weight in the abdomen, apple shaped rather than pear shaped. After menopause body fat commonly redistributes to tha abdomen. Combining liposuction or a tummy tuck with a breast reduction can improve the result and be a safe combination.  I encourage you to find a surgeon  in your area certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Good luck!
