• Scar minimisation
• Your surgeon will also ensure you have a clear understanding of the risk of your breast and tummy surgeries.

Your procedures will be performed under general anaesthetic in an accredited, licensed hospital. The surgery itself takes between 2 – 6 hours depending on the type of procedures you require. You will spend typically a couple of hours under close supervision in the recovery area before being discharged. In some cases you may require an overnight stay at the hospital.

Breast Lift (+ Augmentation) Page – mastopexy
Recovery is similar to breast augmentation but may take slightly longer. Initial recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks, with complete healing and return to all activities within 6-8 weeks.
Risks: Breast lift, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks that individuals should be aware of before making a decision.

Common risks associated with breast lift include infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to anaesthesia, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, asymmetry, dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, and the need for future revision surgeries. Breastfeeding is usually possible after a breast lift, but some individuals might experience difficulties in producing sufficient milk.

If you are having a lift with implants – complications specific to breast implants such as rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant) are also possible. Recent news has highlighted a potential association between textured breast implants and Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).

It is crucial to consult with an appropriately qualified doctor / surgeon, thoroughly discuss all the potential risks, and carefully weigh the benefits against the risks to make an informed decision.

Tummy tuck – abdominoplasty
Recovery: Patients need 2-4 weeks before returning to work. Full recovery, including the ability to engage in strenuous activities, can take 6-8 weeks or longer.
Risks: Tummy tuck, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks that individuals should be aware of before making a decision.  

The main risks associated with tummy tuck include infection, bleeding, scarring, wound healing complications, changes in skin sensation, fluid accumulation, seroma formation, asymmetry, contour irregularities, blood clots, anaesthesia-related complications, and the need for revision surgeries. 

There is also a risk of developing visible or raised scars, especially in individuals with a history of poor scar healing. 

It is important to consult with an appropriately qualified doctor / surgeon, thoroughly discuss all the potential risks, and carefully weigh the benefits against the risks to make an informed decision.

When can I exercise again after breast & abdominoplasty surgery?

You can typically start exercising again after about 4 weeks, focusing on light cardio and gentle movements initially. Over time, you can gradually increase intensity, and by around the 3 month mark, you should be able to resume most pre-surgery activities. Working with a personal trainer or physiotherapist can be beneficial in guiding your recovery and ensuring proper support for your body. 

It is important to wear the necessary support garments during this period.

Can I have both procedures in the one surgery?

It’s possible to undergo a combination of procedures like breast augmentation, breast lift, or a combination of both with a tummy tuck in a single surgical session. This comprehensive procedure is commonly known as a “mummy makeover” and is sought after by women looking to address post-pregnancy or weight related body changes.

However, combining these surgeries is a major undertaking, and the feasibility depends on factors such as the extent of lifting, skin removal, and the duration of the operation. It’s essential to select a skilled doctor or surgeon, comprehend the associated risks and advantages, and have realistic expectations regarding the recovery process.

What are the benefits of having both procedures together?

• Improved aesthetics: Achieves both breast and abdominal improvement in one surgery.
• Reduced recovery time: Only one recovery period compared to separate surgeries.
• Cost-effectiveness: Can potentially be more cost-effective than having two separate surgeries.
