Recovery from multiple surgeries

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Is 10 recovery days enough for multiple procedures abroad?

I'm thinking of going abroad to have a breast lift, tummy tuck, back liposuction. Will 10 days be long enough?

First of all, if you were my patient, I would not be willing to do back liposuction the same day as a tummy tuck and breast lift.  Secondly, the minimum time for recovery where you have surgery is 2 weeks, no less.  Thirdly, realize that there is nobody who will want to take care of you when you come home if you have any problems because they didn't do your surgery.  

Traveling abroad also puts you at the mercy of a doctor who has not passed exams by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Why on earth would you do this?????  Money is not a good reason to put yourself in harms way.
