At my practice we often recommend combining an abdominoplasty (“tummy tuck”) with a mastopexy (“breast lift”), especially for women who have recently given birth. When performed in tandem, these surgeries restore the body’s youthful appearance and enhance self-confidence and self-esteem, and performing both surgeries at once reduces total recovery time and saves the patient money.

Atlanta area mothers looking to restore their bodies after pregnancy should place two cosmetic surgery procedures at the top of their list. Both the “tummy tuck,” or abdominoplasty, and the “breast lift,” or mastopexy, could benefit a woman’s appearance and self-esteem. We will now perform the operations simultaneously, at both our Fayetteville and Atlanta plastic surgery facilities.

The tummy tuck, a tightening of the abdominal muscles and removal of excess skin around the abdomen, can give a patient a flat stomach when weight loss alone has not completely restored a woman’s midsection to its ideal appearance. A breast lift removes excess skin around the breast to alleviate sagging, restore fullness and shapeliness, and bring the nipple back to the correct height.

The best way to obtain both procedures without straining the budget is to visit an Atlanta plastic surgeon who will do them simultaneously. I’m board certified and have the clinical skills and experience to deliver results. The procedures I perform exceed most patients’ expectations.

Combining the operations offers many benefits:

• The patient is anesthetized only once, saving anesthesiology fees.
• The surgeries are done in one day — Atlanta plastic surgeons are heavily booked and are often difficult to schedule.
• Overall recovery time is shorter, which means fewer days off from work.
