Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is the most common combined breast and body procedure at Brisbane Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery and may be suitable for women who are seeking to alter their figure with breast implants and skin removal to the stomach with muscle tightening. Breast augmentation mammoplasty and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) can be performed as a combined procedure.
What does Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty & Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) involve?
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a surgical procedure to remove skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen, and to tighten muscles of the abdominal wall. Abdominoplasty is not a surgical treatment for being overweight and is not a weight loss procedure. Patients should be at their goal weight before undergoing a breast and body procedure as weight loss after surgery will impact results and can cause skin looseness and volume loss. There are a variety of techniques Dr. Richardson may employ for abdominoplasty. The procedure can be combined with other forms of body contouring including suction-assisted lipectomy.
Breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure involving the implantation of breast implants to alter the size and shape of the breasts. You can find out more about breast augmentation mammoplasty here.
How long does Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty & Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) surgery take?
A combined breast and body procedure takes between 2-3 hours, and there is generally around 5-6 hours between hospital admission and discharge. You will see from Dr. Richardson’s before and afters on his Instagram.
Recovery after Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty & Abdominoplasty
Full recovery after breast augmentation mammoplasty and abdominoplasty surgery is six weeks. This being said, the majority of Dr. Richardson’s breast and body surgery patients find that they feel well after one week, and almost back to normal day-to-day routine by three weeks post-operatively. It is strongly recommended that patients avoid any strenuous activity or increased heart rate for the full six weeks to avoid compromised healing.
