Multiple procedures at once

I’m researching into getting a breast lift, fat grafting and an inverted nipple surgery. Is it possible to get all three done at the same time or would they need to be broken up?

We can definitely do all procedures at once. We are in El Paso, TX if you’d like any more information.

Yes it’s possible to have a breast lift, fat grafting and repair of inverted nipples at the same time. At our center we often perform multippe procedures at the same time. It depends on the extent if the breast lifting and fat grafting as well as the medical condition of the patient. You also need to consult with a plastic surgeon who is comfortable doing multiple procedres simultaneously. Good luck!

Yes they can but the more important questions are:

1. what type of lift would be best and what methods will be required to minimize scarring

2. has the nipple always been inverted or is this a recent development

3. are you at the requisite age or is your family history such that you need a screening mammogram within a year of surgery

4. how much donor site fat can you reasonably be obtained

5. were should the fat be placed on the breast and how much will be required to resolve any asymmetry after the lift vs. how much fat you have available for harvest

6. what methods of fat grafting will give you the best graft survival with the least risk of complication

Before you let anyone do your surgery ask them these questions.

This is a great question. In the jurisdiction where I practice surgical times are limited to 6 hours. In this situation all of the procedures could be done in less than 6 hours. Best regards,

Hello. Yes, you may have a breast lift with inverted nipple correction and a liposculpture with fat transfer. It is possible as long as you are in good health and your hemoglobin level is high, at least on 13 grams. That is something very common in my practice.
