Abdominoplasty & Breast Surgery

Cosmetic Concerns Procedure Information Risks & Complications FAQs Pricing

Are you a mum who is unhappy with the changes in your body that come along with childbirth?

If so, then consider talking to a cosmetic surgeon about a Abdominoplasty & Breast Surgery. A Abdominoplasty & Breast Surgery is a combination of strategies to restore the areas that have changed most through pregnancy and childbirth: breasts, tummy and waistline. While some mothers go for individual procedures such as breast lift or abdominoplasty only, others opt for multiple solutions like both breast lifts and abdomen surgery. Plastic surgeons know exactly how fix your body parts affected by parenthood dynamics to improve your whole silhouette.

Breast Surgery is performed to provide a natural, beautiful shape.

Women seek breast surgery for a variety of reasons but common to all is to feel feminine, sensual, and regain or improve confidence:

Improve the size of a breast that already has good shape
Improve cleavage and upper pole fullness
Improve the size of breasts that did not develop during puberty
Restore breast volume and shape after breast feeding or significant weight loss – this may need a breast lift or an augmentation mastopexy.
Correct breast asymmetry
Correct tuberous breast deformity (also known as ‘snoopy breasts’)

Breast Surgery may involve breast lift/reduction, breast augmentation or augmentation-mastopexy (augmentation combined with breast lift).

Abdominoplasty produces a beautiful, flat shape to the tummy.

Abdominoplasty involves the excision of loose skin and fat from the lower tummy or abdomen. In addition the underlying muscles are tightened, and any hernias are repaired. Women seek Tummy Tuck & Breast Surgery:

Wear tight fitting clothes that may otherwise reveal the loose skin or excess fat they find embarrassing
Wear swimwear they want to wear
Feel confident and feminine
Restore shape of their tummy after pregnancy and child rearing
Remove skin and fat that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone

Combining Abdominoplasty and breast surgery makes a lot of sense for women considering both procedures as:

It costs less than having each procedure alone
The recovery time is combined rather than going through separate recoveries for two procedures

Procedure Snapshot

Anaesthetic: GA by accredited anaesthetist
Time: 4-5 hours
Duration of stay: 2 night stay in hospital
Hospital: Offered at Hunters Hill Private, Castlecrag Private or Sydney Adventist Hospital.
Recovery: Most people stay in hospital for 2 nights, and may go home with a drain in their tummy. Patients start walking hunched over and by the end of the first week they are starting to walk almost straight. Heavy lifting or exercise is disallowed for 8 weeks and strenuous exercise for 3 months. For 8 weeks you will be required to wear a binder which is like a corset over the tummy. You can shower after 48 hours, but avoid swimming in a pool or beach for 2-3 weeks until all wounds have healed, and all drains are out.
Results: One of the most satisfying procedures for patients but it is important to note that results vary from patient to patient.

Medicare/Health Fund Rebate: Not usually.
- A breast reduction does attract a Medicare/health fund rebate, and it depends on your level of private health insurance cover
- Breast lift, and breast augmentation do not attract rebates
- Abdominoplasty in general does not attract debates. Part of the abdominoplasty cost is rebateable if you have a symptomatic umbilical hernia. All of the abdominoplasty cost is rebateable for those who meet the following criteria:
  - Significant loss of weight equal to or greater than 5 BMI points
  - Skin condition exacerbated by the loose skin and fat
  - Skin condition not resolving with 3 months of conservative therapy
