Breast Lift with Augmentation

[Davachka]

Anyone been through this? I heard two surgeries at once like this is much more complicated and painful. Can anyone share?

I managed a private hospital specialising in cosmetic surgery and I can't recall those having an uplift with aumentation being any any worse pain than those having one or the other operations. It is more complicated having an uplift than straight forward augentation and the type of operation would depend on how much of an uplift you need. It it is only an inch or so it is not as complex as having a major uplift which can be similar to having a breast reduction.

Yes, I've had both done at the same time, and it's easier to go through surgery one time, and less expensive too, than to do 2 separate procedures. Either way, going through recovery is painful, so you might as well do it at one shot, rather than go through it several times. I don't know that it is significantly "more" painful - I kind of doubt it. Recovery wasn't that bad really. Childbirth is worse, lol.
