Answered by Gary R. Culbertson, MD Sumter, SC
For properly selected patients, it can be both safe and cost effective to have these two procedures (breast enlargement/ augmentation and a tummy tuck) performed at the same time. Your recovery time will be slightly longer. Also, you may want to consider a 23-hour observation or overnight stay in an ambulatory surgery center or hospital, depending on the length of these combined procedures. Please discuss this safety issue with your surgeon.
