Tummy tuck and breast uplift

I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of trying to look into and research where to consider having these procedures.
Am I being crazy to consider having them done at the same time, is it even possible?
I know 100% I want this done, tummy tuck more so
I've thought long and hard about it and want to do research into surgeons/clinics.
I'm in the West Yorkshire area.
TIA

Go to an actual surgeon that specialise in Cosmetic surgery rather than one of the cosmetic companies where at best you will see a nurse and at worse a sales rep

I know this isn’t exactly what you asked, but thought I would tell you about my recent surgery.

had the Mommy Makeover in February in US. I had old breast implants removed, new smaller ones inserted, breast uplift, tummy tuck and liposuction around the tummy and waist area.

I did research quite a lot of UK companies (I’m in London) and none of them would do both operations at one time.

I decided on US because of a few reasons, I have relatives who I stayed with near the clinic, cost was considerably less than UK, they would do both procedures at once and they have been doing these operations for longer and have better techniques.

2 months down the line, I am totally thrilled and just wished I had been able to do it years ago (didn’t have the time of money then).

However (and this could just be me), I found the first 2-3 weeks incredibly painful, mainly due to the tummy tuck. I hadn’t realised that it would be quite so debilitating. I the first week, I was wishing I had never had it done. That has passed now and as I said, I’m so happy with results.

Nobody except my husband (because he paid for operation) knows I had it done but everyone keeps saying how great I look. It’s like I have dieted, exercised and toned up. I hadn’t anticipated the fabulous hourglass shape I would get from the lipo around the flanks.

I can fit into a size 10 for the first time in years. It was only my muffin top that stopped me. I’ve bought tons of new clothes and just couldn’t be happier.

The fact is that once you have had children, no matter how much you diet and exercise it is almost impossible to get rid of your mum tum.

I know that hasn’t been helpful as to who you should consult in UK but I hope it helps you to decide to go for it and, sooner rather than later.

I had a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction using the fat from my stomach (so effectively a tummy tuck).
I have no idea where to research what you want but having both done would be possible.

Hi
BNS
I'm contemplating the same after 5 kids. I've had two professional consultations from two top Plastic Surgeons in the Midlands. Both have advised to do it simultaneously. I'm in the process of finalising dates and pre op. Doing procedure together means recovery time will only be once. General anaesthetic only once, will work out slightly cheaper too.
