If you’re thinking of getting a “mommy makeover” (for instance, a tummy tuck with breast augmentation or breast lift), you may be wondering whether combination procedures are really safe.
Some people have guessed that getting multiple procedures at the same time would make surgery more risky. But in my experience, this just isn’t the case – and I’ve recently published clinical research that proves it.
Combination Surgery Safety: The Essential Facts
The complication risk for plastic surgery in the US is less than 1%, but safety still needs to be your top priority, so if you’re thinking of getting plastic surgery after pregnancy, it’s important that you have the facts.
My study reviewed over 250 cases of patients who received breast surgery and a tummy tuck at my Los Angeles plastic surgery clinic over a period of 10 years. What my colleagues and I found:
- Not one patient experienced life-threatening complications
- Some patients did experience minor complications, but these complications were comparable to the typical complication rates for standalone procedures
The great thing about these study results is not that they show combination surgery eliminates risk entirely (that’s simply not possible) – it’s that patients can be confident that combining breast enhancement and a tummy tuck is a valid, safe option, and won’t add unnecessary worries to the surgical planning and recovery process.
