Can I have other operations at the same time as breast augmentation?

In the field of cosmetic surgery, it is very common to have additional procedures performed at the same time as breast augmentation.

The most frequent additional surgeries include breast lifts, liposuction and tummy tucks. In addition, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and ear pinning surgery are performed with a breast augmentation as well.

It is important that patients know that it is more cost effective and beneficial to have two or more procedures done under the same anesthetic, because the most expensive part of the anesthesia and facility fees are for the first hour. Following that, additional time taken is less costly. Hence, by combining procedures, patients can expect to save around $1,500 to $2,000, depending on the procedures performed. Furthermore, it is greatly beneficial for patients to go through one recovery period rather than two or three recovery periods since it means less time off work or less vacation time used.

Patients who solely undergo a breast augmentation procedure can expect to get back to their normal work routines in about one week. However, they should take care to avoid activities in their daily lives which might include lifting heavy things and other strenuous behavior.

In order to provide their patients with an ideal recovery time, plastic surgeons typically use the knowledge of the patients’ medical history and personal needs. The cosmetic surgeon further offers precise and detailed guidelines to patients to follow in order to facilitate a breast augmentation recovery time that is as quick as possible. Patients should be mindful to adhere to their surgeon’s directions very closely to get the results that they desire and expect.

Under the care of an experienced and board certified plastic surgeon, patients can expect to experience a very safe yet effective procedure, which will yield the results they had expected before the surgery.
