What Other Procedures Can You Combine With a Tummy Tuck?
Combining other procedures alongside a tummy tuck is fairly common and safe. The most common cosmetic procedures patients add to their abdominoplasty are:
- Breast lifts
- Breast augmentations
- Liposuction of other areas of the body (arms, thighs, back)
- Thigh lift
- Arm lift
Many of these surgeries, when combined, are referred to as a “mommy makeover,” due to being common amongst women who have undergone pregnancy.
If you are interested in combining a tummy with any of these procedures, it’s recommended that you do not become pregnant again since the results of the procedures can be undone. Furthermore, you should speak with a doctor to ensure you’re healthy enough to have multiple surgeries.
What Are the Benefits of Combining Procedures?
You can experience the benefits of combining other cosmetic procedures with a tummy tuck, including:
- A single recovery: When you combine procedures, you can go through the recovery process at one time. If you wait and separate the procedures, you will have to wait for the previous site to heal and then undergo another procedure and recovery.
- Decrease costs: When you have a procedure done, you have to pay for the costs of the hospital, anesthesia, and more. If you separate the procedures, you must pay those costs multiple times. By combining procedures, you can decrease the costs overall.
- Extensive results: Having multiple procedures can provide you with more dramatic results.
