Can I get other plastic surgery procedures at the same time as receiving breast reconstruction?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa, New York City) gives expert video advice on: How is a breast reconstruction procedure performed?; Is breast reconstruction painful?; Will I have to take time off from work after getting breast reconstruction surgery? and more...

It's generally not a good idea to have a cosmetic procedure done at the same time as a breast reconstruction procedure. On the other hand, you may undergo contralateral or other breast surgery when you're having breast reconstructive surgery. For example, you may want to match the one breast to the other one to make them look symmetric or the same.
