Are chin and arm liposuction commonly performed together or is it best to separate them for healing purposes?

Thanks so much for your inquire,

If only a small amount of fat needs to be removed from the chin and arms, combining the procedures may be feasible. Some patients may prefer to undergo multiple procedures simultaneously to minimize the number of surgeries and overall downtime

Ultimately, the decision to combine chin and arm liposuction or to separate them for healing purposes should be made in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your specific needs, discuss the potential benefits and risks of each approach, and help you make an informed decision that aligns with your goals for body contouring and aesthetic enhancement.

Sincerely,

Dear smth3r8,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

It is definitely possible to do these procedures together. Both are smaller areas and the benefit is that you only have 1 recovery (1-2 weeks though it will take 3-6 months or more for the swelling to go completely go away). You may be a little uncomfortable with garments but you really only need to do this 1-2 times per day. These areas could be done either awake or with general anesthetic, depending on preference. Happy to answer any other questions you have about it!
