Breast Augmentation & Tummy Tuck: A Safe, Effective, and Popular Combination - Thursday, June 25, 2009

For many women, the two areas of their bodies that trouble them the most are the size or shape of their breasts and the appearance of their tummy area. The board certified plastic surgeons at The Centre, P.C. in Elkhart and Chesterton, Indiana, can perform a breast augmentation and tummy tuck at the same time to completely revitalize your body appearance.

Some people may think that combining procedures puts you more at risk for complications or poor results, but combining plastic surgeries is a great way to change your appearance in a shorter amount of time. By reshaping your abdomen and your breasts at once, you will only go under anesthesia once instead of twice. You will also be able to recover at the same time from both procedures, rather than having two separate recoveries. This means arranging time off work only once, using vacation time once, scheduling for someone to take care of the kids once, etc.

Candidates for a combination breast augmentation and tummy tuck procedure are women who have been unable to change the appearance of their abdomen with diet and exercise. Women should also have breasts that appear too flat or small for their bodies, and they should have skin that still has adequate elasticity.

Mothers looking to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies, women who have lost a significant amount of weight, and women who are just unhappy with their overall body contour have found that the tummy tuck and breast augmentation combination is the best way to gain the look they desire.

If you have considered breast augmentation or tummy tuck procedures, please contact the experienced cosmetic surgeons at The Centre, P.C. in Elkhart and Chesterton, Indiana, to schedule your initial consultation.
