wondering if...

Having a partial hysterectomy, tummy tuck AND a breast reduction too much surgeyr at one time. I have to undergo removal of my ovaries (i had the uterus removed last year) I'm going to a ps consultation in two weeks to inquire about a tummy tuck at the same time as my other surgey since him and my ob-gyn have performed this on a number of occassions..i was just wonder would i be doing too much if i had a brease reduction too. (i'm a 36DD would love to be a C cup.

My ob/gyn told me no when I asked about a hysterectomy and TT.   I didn't have my ps picked at that point, but I"m sure that if my ob/gyn thought it was a good idea, he would have recommendations for me.  Be prepared for a no - simply for the fact that people having a TT for removal of excess skin are not quite the same as an average person having a TT.

That being said, I've had multiple plastics surgeries at one time (see my siggy for what I had done when).  It's possible, but the best people to take this kind of advice from are your doctors.  They know you, your med hx, and their abilities.  They also have a lot of experience with other patients.

Good luck!

Thanks Lisa, I see your point. I'll get a better feel when i go for my consultation. I hope it can be done.

I had a circumferential body lift and breast reduction/lift at the same time.  I was fine.  I don't see why they wouldn't agree to it.

It really depends on both drs and if the PS has hospital privileges at the same hospital as the ob/gyn. I know when I asked my ob/gyn during my PS research about whether or not he would allow a PS to come in and do the TT he said no. Yet others do allow it.

In that case it just may work...they do surgeries together all the time..per my ob gyn. Its not just a matter of going to my consultation and getting insurance to approve it! Wish me luck!
