Which Procedures can be performed at the same time?
The specific approach is tailored to each patient’s needs and goals, and a consultation with your surgeon will determine the most appropriate options for you. Commonly included procedures may involve:
- Abdominoplasty: This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and can include tightening of separated abdominal muscles to improve their function.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): A breast lift is designed to address the position or appearance of the breasts. It involves reshaping the breast tissue and repositioning the nipples.
- Breast Implants (Augmentation): For individuals seeking to add volume or fullness to the breasts, implants can provide a change in size and shape. Implant type, size, and texture are chosen based on the patient’s preferences and consultation with the surgeon.
- Breast Reduction: For those experiencing discomfort due to excessively large breasts, a reduction removes excess skin and tissue to create a smaller breast size.
Each procedure will be discussed in detail during your consultation, where Dr Bish will review your medical history, assess your concerns, and create a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
The Procedure
This is a very personalised procedure, and thus tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. It may include a combination of an abdominoplasty and a breast procedure, such as a lift, augmentation with implants, or a reduction. Some patients may choose to combine an augmentation with implants and a lift. The specifics of your procedure will be discussed in detail during your consultation, ensuring it is suited to your body.
Dr Bish Soliman will use techniques based on your surgical plan, which may involve considerations such as incision placement, implant size, material, texture, and shape, or adjustments to the areola position. The exact approach will depend on your individual anatomy and the outcomes discussed during your consultation.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited hospital, with anesthesia administered by a qualified anesthetist. A hospital stay of three to five days may be required for monitoring during the initial recovery phase. Before you are discharged, you will receive detailed recovery instructions tailored to your procedure. These instructions are designed to support your healing, help optimize results, and reduce the risk of complications.
Risks and Complications
All surgical procedures, including breast and abdominoplasty surgeries, carry some degree of risk. It is essential to be fully informed about both the risks and benefits of your chosen procedures before deciding to proceed.
During your initial consultation, Dr Bish will provide detailed information about the potential risks and complications associated with your procedure, as well as your individual risk factors. This discussion will help you make an informed decision about whether the procedure is right for you.
General Risks of Surgery
- Infection
- Scarring
- Pain or discomfort
- Changes in skin sensation (temporary or permanent)
- Reactions to anesthesia
- The possibility of further surgery to address complications
Procedure-Specific Risks
- For breast augmentation with implants: Risks may include implant rupture, rotation, or changes in nipple sensation (temporary or permanent).

After your surgery, you will be monitored in the hospital to ensure your initial recovery is progressing well. Before being discharged, you will receive tailored recovery instructions to support your healing and minimize the risk of complications.
