Multiple Plastic Surgery Procedures

Many times people want to have more than one procedure done at one time.  While this is understandable and often achievable, we have to act cautiously. 

One thing that we think about is total operative time.  Obviously if you have more procedures done it will take longer than having less procedures done.  So we have to draw the line somewhere at how much is too much.

Another consideration is recovery.  We do not want to work on body systems that are needed for recovery of another area.  For example,  after a tummy tuck it is helpful to have full use of your arms and legs to take up the slack while your tummy is recovering, so I typically do not perform thigh lifts or brachioplasties with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

So for people who want more than one procedure, we have to see them and work out a plan that seems reasonable for them.  Common combinations include breast augmentation with abdominoplasty, breast augmentation with rhinoplasty, breast lift with abdominoplasty, and a whole variety of facial procedure combinations to include lower face, blepharoplasties and browlift.

And every person is different, and so that is why a they need to be seen to work out a plan that is right for them!
