Hello, I had a breast lift and augmentation done last September, as I lost a lot of breast tissue and had very saggy breasts after 3 pregnancies (one of them twins). I am thrilled with my results and love my new breasts. I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck this November (so 14 months after my breasts were done), with the same surgeon. Will a tummy tuck change the appearance of my breasts? I love them just as they are and am afraid they will be lowered during the tummy tuck.

Answer: Tummy tuck and breasts Dear carolina2709, tummy tuck will affect your abdominal wall and not breasts. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for sharing your concerns. A tummy tuck primarily focuses on the abdominal area and typically does not directly affect the appearance of the breasts. However, by creating a flatter, tighter abdomen, it might enhance the overall aesthetic proportion of your torso, which could subtly change how the breasts are perceived in relation to the rest of the body. Since you're working with the same surgeon who did your breast procedure, they will have a comprehensive understanding of your anatomy and aesthetic goals. It's essential to communicate your concerns with them to ensure the best possible outcome.
