Tummy tuck and boobs together

Or not? I am scheduled to have my tummy done Sept. 22. I was going to get my boobs lifted and add an implant, but due to the lack of funds I decided to just do the tummy tuck for now. However I think I might have come up with enough money to both now and can't decide if I should do them together or seperate. Just curious as to what you did or would do?

I would get them done together because having multiple surgeries should save you money or get you a discount.  You will only have to pay 1 anesthesia fee, hospital fee, etc.  I am actually going to Mexico in October and having multiple procedures done at once.  Good luck!

That was going to be my answer exactly. It should save you at least 2/3rds doing them togeather by saving on anesthesia, the facility bill etc. Plus you may as well do all of your healing at once vs. twice.

Goodluck.

I had my TT and BL done in late May - so glad I did.  If I hadn't I would NOT have gone back to have the BL done.  I say if you can, do what you gotta do to get more 'bang' for your buck and try to be one and done!  


I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions!  I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

I would do them together too! I was just going to have my arms done and decided to do the BL at the same time because of the cost savings. I would love to have my belly, butt and thighs done too, but I am most disgusted with my arms and boobs. The lower half can wait for a bit.

I also wanted to say that you look amazing!!! Congrats!!!

definitely together if you can...i just did a breast lift with tt together.  i need to wait 3 months to go back for implants my Dr said i need to do lift separately from implants--because i had so much extra skin. lift needed to be done first to see where i am after healing.  while i wish i could have done it all together i want whatever is best.  i went from a 36 DD to a 36 big b/little c.  so I'll be "stuffing" til i get my implants!  the tummy tuck is the toughie, not the boobs.  i say do it all at once if you can good luck

I'm pre-op but financially I feel its best to do as much as you are comfortable with.  I saved for having multiple proceedures, plus I saved on the anesthesia, then I got a discount on top of that.  So my savings makes it worth it to me. 
I'm having Full TT, MR, BL, BA, Arm lift and Lipo done Sept 3.  I know in this economy the prices are better also.

I agree with my fellow ladies here...I would try to get them together! As long as you feel comfortable, safe, and have a good support system I would say why not!?? I am excited for you, this is one of my favorite procedures to see done because people are typically so happy with their results.

I am having mine done all at once.  Do not want to go under for another surgery.  Plus cheaper this way.  just my thoughts.  And I will hurt bad all at once and then it will be over.  LOL
