Breast Lift With Tummy Tuck Seattle, Out of the top five most popular plastic surgeries in the United States, the breasts and abdomen are the focus of three. These are frequently problem areas for women, especially women who have had children. A combination of stretched skin during pregnancy, the natural aging process, and separated muscles all contribute to extra, hanging skin on the breasts and abdomen. Regardless of the amount of fat on the body, the body’s contours are hidden by extra and sagging skin. For many patients, a combined breast lift with tummy tuck—also a type of mommy makeover—will reveal the true body contours. Dr. Javad Sajan of Allure Esthetic provides the best breast lift with tummy tuck Seattle offers.

Overview: Mommy Makeover Surgery In Seattle

Breast Lift Seattle

A mommy makeover is a plastic surgery that combines at least one breast surgery and at least one abdomen procedure. This is because these are the two areas most frequently affected by pregnancy. The mommy makeover procedure can look very different depending on the patient’s needs. It could include any combination of breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast lift, breast reduction, and many other possible surgeries.

One common combination is a breast lift and tummy tuck. This mommy makeover primarily targets excess skin in these two areas. Often, these mommy makeover patients will have loose skin along the abdomen and noticeable breast sagging.

Breast Lift

A breast lift—also called a mastopexy—is a breast enhancement surgery that corrects breast sagging. Breast sagging is common after pregnancy due to the breasts rapidly expanding and receding. Usually, the skin cannot fully retract which leaves behind extra skin. This extra skin can pull the breast down and cause breast sagging. Other factors like age and skin quality also matter.

The procedure typically uses an anchor-shaped incision to remove the extra skin on the breast and move the nipple upward. It does leave visible scarring on the breasts, but it restores a perky breast appearance.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery—also known as an abdominoplasty—addresses loose, hanging skin on the abdomen. Like described above, during pregnancy the skin, tissues, and muscles of the abdomen must stretch to accommodate the fetus. After giving birth, these structures must retract and come back together. This often does not fully happen.

This is also the most common cause of diastasis recti, or the separation of the abdominal muscles. It is a benign condition, but it can contribute to the appearance of a hanging or pooch stomach.

Frequently
Asked Questions

1. What Are The Risks Of A Tummy Tuck And Breast Lift?

Any surgery comes with risks. Dr. Sajan follows several protocols to reduce risks during surgery. This includes thorough patient screening, surgical instruments that help limit bleeding, and post-operatove care instructions. The average patient is low risk and any long lasting, untreatable complications are extremely rare.

Still, it is important that patients know and understand the risks. The possible risks and complications include:

  • Infection
  • Unsightly or raised scarring
  • Complicated associated with general anesthesia
  • Asymmetry
  • Hematoma
  • Seroma
  • Bleeding
  • Prolonged side effects
  • Skin or nipple death

2. How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Breast Lift With Tummy Tuck?

Patients can expect around two to three weeks off work. Strenuous activities and exercise will gradually resume from two weeks onward. Careful walking is encouraged during recovery. Additionally, patients will continue wearing their surgical bra and compression garment for several weeks.

Patients should see a significant reduction in side effects within a few weeks. They often return to all normal activities in about two months. The final results take between nine and twelve months to come in. Though, patients are often satisfied with their results before then.

3. What Is The Highest BMI For Mommy Makeover?

Dr. Sajan has no BMI requirements for mommy makeover surgery. With that said, it is taken into account along with other aspects of the patient’s health and medical history. However, a BMI above 30 does not automatically disqualify a patient from undergoing a mommy makeover surgery.

Some of the factors taken into account when evaluating a patient for surgery include:

  • Medications they take
  • Medical diagnoses
  • Past surgeries and procedures
  • Smoking vs. non-smoking lifestyle
  • Patient plans to become pregnant in the future and/or is currently breastfeeding
  • Patient’s anatomy
  • Genetic risk factors

Dr. Sajan considers hundreds of factors when deciding if a patient is a suitable candidate for mommy makeover surgery in Seattle.

4. Can I Get A BBL, Breast Lift, And Tummy Tuck At The Same Time?

Yes, as long as a patient is a good candidate for all three procedures and can withstand the necessary surgery. A Brazilian butt lift is not usually included in a mommy makeover. However, it can be added to the procedure if it is suitable for the patient.

5. How Much Is A Seattle Breast Lift With Tummy Tuck?

Determining the cost of a breast lift with tummy tuck is difficult because there are multiple types of each procedure. Until a patient is evaluated in person, it is almost impossible to give an accurate estimate. Once Dr. Sajan evaluates a patient and understands their goals, he can craft a personalized surgical plan.

Starting prices for individual procedures can be found on the price list. Price Simulator can add up the total starting cost of multiple surgeries. Though, this is still a tentative quote. Financing is available through Care Credit and Alphaeon.
