How Long Do I Need to Wait Between Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck Surgeries?

Technically you could do both a breast reduciton and tummy tuck at the same operative date. Alternatively, if you choose to stage the procedures, I know of some surgeons that will do it as soon as the next day. However, my guess is that most surgeons would stage this by 3-4 months.

Hi there-

I usually perform tummy tucks and breast procedures concurrently, and believe that for healthy patients the advantages far outweigh the risks, provided the surgeon can complete the procedure in a reasonable period of time (less than 5 hours). If not, then yes, do them separately.

As far as the interval between procedures, this would depend heavily on your individual recovery and your surgeon's preferences and techniques- but generally speaking, you could probably proceed with the second procedure after about 3-6 weeks.
