Mastopexy (Breast Lift) with Implants & Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Mastopexy (breast lift) with augmentation and Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a common combined breast and body procedure that may be suitable for women who are seeking to alter their figure with a breast lift mastopexy, breast implants with skin removal and muscle repair to the stomach post-pregnancy or weight loss.
Combined breast and body procedures serve the purpose of addressing the breasts and abdomen following pregnancy, child birth, major weight loss, and other lifestyle and health factors that may cause skin laxity, muscle separation, or lack of volume in the breasts and abdomen. The specific procedures depend on each patient’s needs. You can see Dr. Richardson’s patient results in our gallery or on our Instagram.
What does a breast & body procedure involve? (Breast Lift Mastopexy with Augmentation Mammoplasty & Abdominoplasty)
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 any breast and body procedures as weight loss after surgery will impact results and can cause volume loss and loose skin as a result. There are a variety of techniques Dr. Richardson may employ for abdominoplasty. The procedure can be combined with other forms of body procedures, including suction-assisted lipectomy.
Breast lift mastopexy with augmentation mammoplasty surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure involving a surgical breast lift mastopexy and implantation of breast implants to alter the size and shape of the breasts.

How long does Mastopexy, Augmentation Mammoplasty & Abdominoplasty surgery take?
A combined breast and body procedure can take between 2-3 hours, and there is generally around 5-6 hours between hospital admission and discharge.
Recovery after Mastopexy, Augmentation Mammoplasty & Abdominoplasty Surgery
Full recovery after mastopexy (breast lift), breast augmentation mammoplasty and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is six weeks. This being said, the majority of Dr. Richardson’s breast and body surgery patients find that they feel relatively well after one week, and almost back to normal by three weeks. It is strongly recommended that patients avoid any strenuous activity or increased heart rate for the full six weeks to avoid compromised healing.
