Is The Tummy Tuck Procedure Safe Along With Breast Lift?

I am wondering if a tummy tuck procedure would be covered by Saskatchewan Health. I had heard that this procedure along with removal of extra skin was covered if a person lost 100 pounds. I gained 85 pounds or more during my last pregnancy 21 years ago. Now that I am 52 I would like to have the procedure done along with breast lift. If it is not covered, what would be an estimated cost in Saskatoon? Thanks in advance.

as per ur query, a breast lift can be combined easily with a tummy tuck surgery. in fact u can get away with a single scar just below your breasts and wont have the bikini line scar.
i am sorry that i wont be able to assist you with the cost factor.
your age and weight are appropriate for such kind of surgery.
u can go ahead with the surgery as per my advice.
best wishes
