i WOULD LIKE TO ASK 1 QUESTION: I want to do my back in the same time with breast lift/reduction.
But my PS told me that it can cause gematoma on the breasts because they will need to turn me and put on the breasts to do my back. He can do it, but I can say he is against.
This is my last surgery I will do and my back is horrible.
Is anyone had this 2 surgeries together:  back fat removed and breast lift/ reduction?
How was it?
And how long you need for recovery?
Thank you.

I was originally scheduled to do a circumferential with Breast Lift/augment...Ended up doing the lift in April of this year and three months later doing the rest of my body. My surgeon called about a month before my surgery and asked me to come in and talk about my next surgery. When I went in he said he was thinking it would be a bad idea to do the circumferential and breast implants for that same reason. He did not want to work on my front, than flip me over and work on my back. After talking we agreed to change my surgery to a TT/lipo/muscle tightening/Panni/BA/lipo of "side boob" and I'm THRILLED. He also was able to pull the tops of my thighs up as well. He said he took my TT wider behind my hips to try and pull some of that extra skin from my back off as well. He did such an amazing job I don't think I'll be doing any plastics on my back side! So in the end I had my whole front done and am now almost four weeks out. Still a bit swollen but its beautiful already. Recovery is slow. I went back to work this week (desk job). It's really pooped me out. Only working very limited hours, average 4 hours 4 days a week because I'm still really exhausted and need pain meds by the time I get home. When at home and propped up with pillows I feel great! No meds needed.

Hope this helps, best of luck to you!

I had my lbl and bl 5.5 weeks ago. My surgeon will address the bra bulge/back fat when he does my implants.
