I am scheduled to have my long awaited tummy tuck on December 30th. I decided to wait until after my sons wedding in November as I did not want to risk not feeling 100% for that. My question is related to the effects that pulling the skin down will have on my breasts. I am happy with my size and take pride that for my age (48), my boobs still look good. Does anyone know if this is a concern? Should I mention this to my surgeon as a concern?

Answer: Should not affect the breasts When we talk about Tummy tuck we are referring to the lower abdomen and not to the breasts, there are other surgeries like breast lift, or TUBA surgery that affect the breast but a tummy tuck should not change the size and shape of your breasts.

Answer: Results of tummy tuck surgery on breasts
Although your results post tummy tuck surgery will be significant, it should not affect your breasts in any way. However, I recommend emphasizing this concern to your board certified plastic surgeon to ensure the results and goals you would like to achieve. It is best to communicate with your surgeon prior to proceeding with surgery. Good luck and take care.

Answer: Tummy tuck does not affect breast shape/position
Many patients are concerned if they have a tummy tuck it will lower their breast position. This is not true. A tummy tuck will have to impact on your breast shape or position. The downward traction of the abdominal tissue that is performed during a tummy tuck is not significant enough to affect your breasts at all.
Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon prior to scheduling a tummy tuck procedure.
