TrustMed Clinic : Combining Abdominoplasty with Breast Surgery: What to Know

Why Combine Abdominoplasty with Breast Surgery?
It’s common for patients—especially mothers or post-weight loss patients—to seek improvements in both their abdomen and breasts. Whether your concerns are loose abdominal skin, stretched muscles, or sagging breasts, combining abdominoplasty and breast surgery allows for:
- A more balanced and harmonious silhouette
- One recovery period instead of two
- Lower overall cost by combining anesthesia and hospital fees
- A comprehensive transformation, often called a Mommy Makeover
At Trustmed Clinic, combination body procedures are carefully customized and performed in JCI-accredited hospitals by board-certified plastic surgeons.
Most Common Breast Surgeries Combined with Abdominoplasty
Breast Augmentation
Increases volume using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for:
- Volume loss after breastfeeding
- Naturally small breasts
- A desire for fuller shape along with a flatter abdomen
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Removes excess skin and lifts sagging breasts to a more youthful position. Often combined with or without implants.
Breast Reduction
Removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce breast size and improve posture. Often chosen for relief from neck, back, and shoulder discomfort.
Ideal Candidates for Combined Surgery
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are in good overall health and near your ideal weight
- Are finished with pregnancies and breastfeeding
- Have loose abdominal skin, muscle separation (diastasis recti), or post-baby belly
- Have sagging or deflated breasts you wish to lift or enhance
- Want to save time and cost with a single surgical session
