Breast implants and tummy tuck
Without the benefit of exam or photos it is difficult to say what you would be best for you.
The most important thing is how you feel about your breast, if you are happy with them then there is no need to do surgery at this time. (Arun Rao, MD, Tucson Plastic Surgeon)
Having a tummy tuck, should I have breast implants too?
The only reason for any elective cosmetic surgery is personal satisfaction. If you aren’t totally convinced that you want the breast surgery, then avoid it by all means. (Ronald V. DeMars, MD, Portland Plastic Surgeon)
Breast implants and Tummy Tuck
It is very common for patients to do more than one procedure at the same time. It does save money, it is only 1 recovery and you can have an overall improvement of the whole body. Breasts can look bigger after a tummy tuck as the stomach will then be flat giving the illusion of larger breasts. (Leo Lapuerta, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
Indeed, the breast lift and augmentation surgery can be very complex, especially with asymmetry. Certainly if you plastic surgeon is board certified you should be in good hands. If you get implants and the mastopexy your breasts will be larger, more symmetrically and lifted.
As I tell many of my patients. there is a big difference between “need” and “want”. You don’t need the breast surgery, however if you want them to look potentially better while not wearing a bra. (Joshua Kreithen, MD, Sarasota Plastic Surgeon)
Breast implants at the same time as Tummy Tuck
Breast implants is often performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. This combination is also known as a “a mommy makeover”. A tummy tuck will often make your breasts appear larger. The question of wether to have both procedures or not is personal. Medically it is safe to combine them. (Frank Agullo, MD, El Paso Plastic Surgeon)

First of all do your homework and inform yourself about breast implants, both saline and silicone. Learn about what the risks are as well as possible complications.
Once you are well informed then you can decide if the decision to have implants is the right one for you. (Constance M. Barone, MD, San Antonio Plastic Surgeon)
