Can getting a tummy tuck after a breast augmentation affect the location of the implant?

July 17, 2014
Asked By:nikkiNU86 in South Carolina, SC

I want a BA (which is scheduled in 2 weeks) and a TT but I can't afford them together at the moment. My PS said they would actually only charge me the Mommy makeover price when I did get to get it done. My question is, can a TT be preformed after a BA and it not affect your BA? I know the skin is pulled tight so wouldn't that pull the breast down as well? I decided on the BA first bc recovery time is shorter and school is around the corner. Leaving the TT until summer starts. Thanks!
