Question 1

what is the recovery time fafter  a breast lift and an abdominoplasty?

Accepted Answer

4-6 weeks: There are different phases of recovery.  The acute recovery phase is usually 2 weeks.  During this time, you should not drive and lift nothing more than 5 lbs.  Between 2-6 weeks,  you should not vigorously exercise.  Each surgeon has his/her own way of advising their patients, and i suggest you seek their counsel.

Question 2

can i have have breast reduction and lipo tummy tuck at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Usually it would be safe to undergo two procedures if you are otherwise in good health and a good candidate for surgery. This should only be performed by a qualified board certified or board eligible plastic surgeon.

Question 3

want to get tummy tuck and gynestomia breast reduction on the same surgery or at the same time. is this possible and can u recommend someone in ny/nj?

Accepted Answer

First talk to: Your family doctor  who will recommend you a plastic surgeon ,  you need medical clearance  ,  both are cosmetic procedures your medical insurance will not cover such surgeries

Question 4

has anybody had a breast reduction and tummy tuck at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is a very popular "mommy make-over" combo because women who have children often have abdominal bulges afterwards and the breasts may have enlarged/drooped.  The procedures are safe to do at the same time if the patient is in good health otherwise and the doctor has experience with the procedure.  Combining the two increases risks slightly so some people choose to do them separately.

Question 5

how painful does a tummy tuck and a male breast surgery hurt?

Accepted Answer

Painful.: These surgeries are generally safe, but painful.  Good news is that there is pain medicine that helps with the pain and the patient will be provided with that medication by their doctor when they go through the surgery and after the surgery.

Question 6

in asia how much do tummy tucks (witch hazel) and breast lifts usually cost?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: If you are considering surgery in asia, you should ask these questions of those practices in asia.  I would surmise that it could potentially be significantly less expensive.  Then again, you are asking someone to operate on you and putting your safety in their hands, not just for surgery but in the recovery period. Other countries also have different regulations and safety standards.

Question 7

ive just had a mini tummy tuck with lipo of flanks. im 10 days post operation. when i sit my lower belly now makes a roll of fat over the incision and the incision tucks in. othis normal due to swelling? will it go down to make a flat belly?

Accepted Answer

: Not seeing the area cant tell you. Best is to have surgeon see it and answer your question.

Question 8

is it possible to get a breast reduction and tummy tuck to reduce back pain?  my back kills me most of the time, mainly my lower my weight has fluctuated a bit.  i was 160 in high school and when i graduated and by the time i was 20 i was 211 pounds.  whe

Accepted Answer

To : To give a very qualified answer:  if your back pain is related to having large breasts and extra weight, then breast reduction and abdominoplasty can help.  If it is not related, then it will not help.

That said, it sounds like you have been doing many of the "right" things to try to manage your weight.  Even with weight loss, though, you'll never be a "b" cup!  many women with large breast have upper back and shoulder pain, often associated with large bras that pull the shoulders forward under the weight of the breasts.

Find a reputable plastic surgeon to evaluate you and see if this type of surgery may help.  Then, get a second (and maybe third!) opinion.  This is not something to undertake lightly.

Also, back pain is frequently associated with smoking.  If you are a smoker, i would recommend quitting.

Question 9

i have had tummy tuck, fat transfer, lipo, and breast augmentation june 2nd 2017. i am experiencing extreme leg pain - soreness, abdominal discomfort and pain shooting down the leg.  i was only prescribed supradol which i no longer have for the pain.

Accepted Answer

Call your doctor pls: We can't prescribe through this forum, nor would it be appropriate for us to do so without a directed history and physical exam.  Extreme pain however warrants that you contact your doctor ASAP for evaluation and relief.

Question 10

i had a breast implant surgery and a tummy tuck in 2008. can i get pregnant with the implant and tummy tuck or should i get the implants removed before getting pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: It is not necessary to remove the implants prior to getting pregnant.  You should speak with your plastic surgeon to determine how the implants were placed (subpectoral or subcutaneous)).
