"My doctor told me I need a breast lift and augmentation. He does the lift first and 3 months later the augmentation. What are the pros & cons of doing the surgeries at the same time vs. 3 months apart?"

Doing the augpexy as a staged procedure affords a bit of comforting control over the operation. It makes the decision making easier. Of course the downside is it takes two procedures with extra expense. Doing them at the same time can result in only one procedure if it works well. Also, if a second procedure is required, most of the work will have been done and sometimes the revision can be easier.
