I had Liposuction done on my calves and ankles 2 years ago. I am now going back to have my upper inner and outer thighs done, as well as a breast augmentation. I also have lumps from my previous surgery on my lower legs and wonder how I should approach my PS with this. Can I have all this done at once safely?
Answer: Liposuction And Breast Augmentation Together?
Thank you for the question.
Yes the 2 procedures you've mentioned can be done together safely. In regards to the previously performed surgery I would discuss your concerns calmly and in a non-accusatory fashion with your plastic surgeon.
Please make sure you are working with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Combining liposuction and breast augmentation
Yes, these two procedures can be combined safely. Here in Florida, combined procedures have a volume limit - not more than 1000 cc (1 litre) of fat can be removed when 2 or more surgeries are combined.
All the best,

Answer: Breast augmentation and liposuction These two procedures are often combined, so we know it's safe. The more important question I think is how to approach your PS about a lumpy result in your lower leg area liposuction. It's simple-- just bring it up openly. We all know that those areas are fraught with complications. Most board certified plastic surgeons don't even do those areas at all because of what you're currently concerned with. Because the solution could be in the use of fat grafting, while you're doing your thigh suction maybe there is a role for correcting the deformity of the calves/ankles. Correcting these deformities is not a sure fire thing unfortunately, so be sure you're completely aware of what the possibilities are this time around. At this point, it's suprising that you're surprised, and unusual that you're not sure how to bring it up. You should be really confident with him about discussing everything. Don't worry about offending anyone, you won't. He'll take pride in his work and surely want to improve it if possible.

Answer: Thigh Liposuction and Breast Augmentation Yes you can have both procedures done at the same time. Having thigh liposuction and breast augmentation done simataneously is safe.

Answer: Multiple procedures It sounds reasonable to have liposuction of the thighs and breast augmentation simultaneously. But you and your surgeon should be clear on what your priorities are and that it might be possible to curtail the procedure and when that might occur. As far as imperfection of previous surgery goes, just be honest and straight-forward. Most reputable surgeons will appreciate the chance to make you happy if there is a reasonable chance of doing so, while understanding that there are inherent risks of imperfection with all procedures.
