Pregnancies and weight gain can wreak havoc on your body, especially your breasts and tummy. More and more patients are choosing to combine surgical procedures to reduce costs and recovery times. “Over 70 percent of my patients are having multiple procedures done now when undergoing general anesthesia,” says Dr. Bengtson. “It’s a delicate balance in that we want to combine procedures that make sense and can be done safely.” Frequently combined procedures include abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast surgeries such as lifts and augmentations. Although they’re commonly referred to as Mommy Makeovers, Dr. Bengtson and his staff call them “Princess Packages.” He often recommends packaging a tummy tuck, liposuction and breast surgery together to completely transform the body. “In patients who are close to their ideal weight, the right procedures can have extremely impactful results,” adds the doctor.
