Mommy Makeover: Breast augmentation is commonly combined with the tummy tuck. In fact, it is done frequently enough to be nicknamed the mommy makeover. The upside is one recovery period. The downside is soreness in the upper and lower body at the same time. Articles on the mommy makeover combination can be found on my san francisco plastic surgery blog here: <a href="<a href="http://www.Sanfranciscoplasticsurg.

It : It is very common for me to perform breast augmentation at the same time a tummy tuck is performed. In fact it is advisable since the implants can be easily introduced for breast augmentation through the tummy tuck incision without the need for the breasts to be cut. Good luck from nyc.

Yes: Combined procedures are common. It is important that an experienced plastic surgeon perform the procedure. Longer procedures have a slightly increased risk for complications such as infection and dvt. But a well trained surgeon will be able to assess and minimize these risks so that you can have a safe and satisfying outcome.

Possible.: Combination surgical procedures are done on a routine basis. However, it is best to evaluate each patient on an individualized basis. During this consultation process, after a complete history and physical, the safety of combining these surgical procedures becomes of paramount importance. Plastic surgeon, anesthesia provider, duration of surgery, surgery facility all important considerations.

Implant and TT: It is very common to have a tummy tuck and breast implants at the same time. It makes sense. Find a board certified plastic surgeon experience at both. This is sometimes called a mommy makeover. http://www.drschulmanplasticsurgery.com/body/mommy-makeover/.

Yes, but: A given plastic surgeon may legitimately feel the answer is 'no' especially once individual circumstances are considered. Both procedures have post-op pain, but the physiological burden for a healthy patient is not too much. I have done the augmentation thru the tummy tuck incision under certain circumstances...
