Yes: Yes. These 2 procedures are safe to perform at the same setting, depending on how much liposuction you are seeking. You should discuss with the financial specialist at your plastic surgeon's office to inquire about the cost of the cosmetic portion of your surgery.

Yes you can: Adding the second procedure does add a bit of risk to breast reduction this should be considered when considering the added convenience of having both procedure done at the same time. However it may also save you a bit of money because if the liposuction was going to be performed under general anesthesia part of that anesthesia cost will be already covered by your insurance.

Yes: Assuming you are a good candidate for liposuction surgery, this procedure can often be done at the same time as breast reduction surgery. Good candidates for liposuction surgery generally present with isolated areas of diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue with good quality overlying skin elasticity. Careful selection of your plastic surgeon and use of good judgment will be important.
