How safe is it to have tummy tuck and breast reduction at the same time?

It is absolutely possible to do both these surgeries at once. I perform these combinations regularly.Your surgeon will likely send you home with TED hose, and use compression devices on your calves suring the operation to lower the risk of clotting.Best of luck!

That is a great question. The answer is entirely dependent upon the health of the patient. If the patient is healthy and medically cleared by their primary physician, then it could be safe to proceed. However, surgeries that last longer than 7 hours can be riskier. I encourage you to research on this matter so that you make a wise decision. Hope this has helped you.

Tummy tuck and breast reduction frequently are done at the same time. It is a chance to address two problematic areas at once and re-sculpture them to be proportional and complimentary to each other. If given the choice most plastic surgeons would want to do these together to get a more harmonious result. In your case it would most likely be possible, but it would be best to re-visit with your liver doctor, and then we can get clearance and coordinate with them any special treatment or precautions that might be helpful to keep you safe. As long as it can be safely done, tummy tuck together with a breast reduction is a great combination surgery!

In a healthy patient a combination of breast reduction and abdominoplasty is safe. Your surgeon will discuss the specifics with you about convalescence.

It is common to operate on the breasts and abdomen at the same time.  Your liver disease must be checked out before proceeding with surgery  Please discuss this with your surgeon and your internist.  Sagging of your breasts will happen, but reducing them will certainly make your situation better.  If they are reduced, they will likely never be as saggy as they are now.

It is generally safe to perform a tummy tuck and breast reduction at the same time on a healthy patient. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon on the following:Have the surgeon examine your abdomen and breasts so he/she can give you a realistic idea of what sort of results to expect from surgery, and to make sure you are a good candidate to have both procedures performed at the same time. Discuss result expectations. In general, you can expect not to have significant sagging for several years. Review your medical history and autoimmune liver disease to make sure the procedure will be safe for you.Discuss your concerns about anesthesia, as there are several medications that can be prescribed to help you avoid those unpleasant symptoms.

If you have medical clearance prior to surgery and the procedures can be done in a reasonable amount of time (<6hrs) it certainly is possible to combine a breast reduction and a tummy tuck. Nausea is a common side effect of anesthesia and there are some strong anti-nausea medications that can be prescribed. Consult with a few experienced plastic surgeons for a complete examination and review of your options.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Having a tummy tuck along with a breast reduction is not uncommon and can be completed in a safe manner. But every patient is different and each one will have their own set of risks. The combined surgery certainly is not safe for everyone, however. I would suggest having a consultation or two with a board certified plastic surgeon. The board certification process does a pretty good job of emphasizing the importance of safety and surgeons that are certified, in general, are trustworthy. Best wishes.

It is perfectly safe to combine a breast reduction a tummy tuck.  This is a very common combined procedure for mommy makeovers.  If you are prone to nausea, let your anesthetist know and they can do their best to minimize it for you.  To answer your second question is impossible, everyone is different.

Assuming your surgeon can complete both procedures in 4-5 hours, it is reasonable for a patient in good health and appropriate weight (BMI less than 30) to do a tummy tuck and breast reduction at the same time. In patients with a history of nausea after anesthesia, we have had very good success with a medication called Emend. It must be taken before the anesthesia.
