Combining Breast Lift, Implants, Tummy Tuck and Fat Injections to Butt

I am interested in having a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck and some fat injected into my buttocks. I was wondering if these are too many procedures to have at once. Can all these procedures be done at once?

Breast Lift, Implants, Tummy Tuck, and Butt Augmentation???

It does make sense to combine procedures at times, but you are pushing the envelope. That is a lot of surgery, covering multiple parts of the body, will certainly take a while, and will make for a tough recovery. Safety becomes a real consideration, and as you get beyond six hours of surgery (as you almost certainly will) the risk of various kinds of complications starts to rise. In addition, do you really want your surgeon working as fast as possible to get this done.... more

Multiple Plastic Surgery Procedures

From the pictures, it looks like you would benefit from all the procedures that you listed. The most important thing is your safety. You may want to consider two separate sessions to complete all the procedures. While it is technically possible to do all the procedures at the same time, it is a huge stress on your body to have such a long surgery. Also, you do not want your surgeon rushing through the procedures just to get them all done. Good luck.

Combination Surgery and Safety?

Thank you for the question and picture. Determining whether all the procedures you mentioned could (or should) be performed at the same time will depend on a thorough history and physical examination; ultimately it will come down to a decision regarding issues such as duration and safety of surgery in your specific case. There is simply not enough information to provide you with a precise answer online. If in doubt, do the procedures in two stages. Best wishes. more

Combining procedures

Hi, Thank you for your question. It is usually not the best idea to combine all of these procedures into one surgery. One reason is the amount of time in surgery and amount of anesthesia administered. You would obviously need to be in the operating room for a longer period of time which puts you at a greater risk. Depending on exactly what you have done, you may need to rest in certain positions that could compromise the results of the other procedures. It appears that you could benefit... more

Multiple cosmetic procedures

Hi, I would strongly advise that you have these procedures done separately, perhaps the breasts at one time and then the body procedures at a later date. The risks of surgery and anesthesia go up significantly when procedures are combined and operative time is prolonged. Best, /nsn.

Combining breast implants and lift, tummy tuck with fat transfer to buttock

Combining procedures in plastic surgery can be done if you are in good overall health and the surgeries can be completed in a reasonable amount of time. You will first require medical clearance from your primary care physician, which will include an EKG and appropriate lab testing. You may also need to make arrangements to stay overnight at an aftercare facility or in a hospital -- this should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. The procedures should be completed in under six hours... more

Breast llift, implant, and tummy tuck

The tummy tuck inyour case will also need to include some liposuction to the flanks and upper abdomen. As for you breast I cannot tell if your nipples are that low that you need a lift; the implants may be enough or a vertical lift is needed. You can do all the above in one surgery.

Tummy tuck, fat grafting, and breast augmentation and mastopexy should be safe

Tummy tuck, fat grafting to the buttocks, and breast augmentation and mastopexy should be safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. Blood clots (potentially life threatening) would be rare, but can occur with this combination of procedures, and should be guarded against. Your surgeon will likely use compression hose and pneumatic sequential hose (hose that pump the blood in and out of your legs) before, during, and after surgery. You will likely spend the night in the overnight... more

Lots of surgery

I think that you would be a good candidate for the tummy tuck. I can't tell if you need a lift, or if implants alone will suffice. I am not keen on fat transfers myself. Anyway, if you are healthy enough for all that surgery, you have to understand that it will increase risk and you should stay in a hospital at least over night for safety. sek

Combining breast lift, implants, tummy tuck and fat injections to butt

Yes, it is possible to do these combination surgeries in one operative setting. But you need a very experienced boarded plastic surgeon, a in detailed informed consent outlining all the risks involved in combination surgeries, correct choices to breasts procedures (which lift a donut to a full Mastopexy). As for fat transfer the most that I would do in a combination of surgeries would be 300 to 400 cc's per side (into the muscle). Or a total aspirate of 1200 cc's. Please be careful and... more

Multiple Procedure Safety

It really depends how long it takes to perform the surgeries. My personal limit is around 8 hours of surgery on someone who is extremely healthy. Also patient comfort is very important as well after the surgery. Having said that, I would feel comfortable to provide all those services to a potential patient. Good luck.

Breast lift, tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift

The tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift can clearly be performed together as seen in the following video. However, breasts lifts come in many versions and often involve use of an implant. Depeding on the extent of the procedure the breast lifts can take as little as 30 minutes or add up to 3 hours to the operative time. Risks of complications increase with the time under general anesthesia and no once can accurately quantify the risks for you. Even performing the butt lift and... more

Multiple procedures

It is certainly Ok to perform a Breast augmentation/lift, and Tummy tuck at the same time. Performing Fat injections at the same time should be OK, but it depends upon the expected length of time for the surgery and your underlying medical condition.

Multiple procedures

See my other comments regarding multiple procedures but I have done this combinations before but your surgeon must go over the pros and cons of each procedure as well as the risks of combining them. Much depends on the specific techniques. While augmentation-mastopexies can be safe, they are more risky than each separate procedure under certain situations such as subglandular implants and inverted-T incision. Relative size of implants might impact risks. As far as the Abdominoplasty is... more

Safety of multiple procedures

Multiple cosmetic procedures can be done safely at the same time but every patient is individualized. Procedure risks increase with increasing time in the operating room. This may require a longer hospitalization and use of medications (like a blood thinner) . All these things as well as the health of the patient are taken into consideration.

Having several procedures together is risky

While it appears you would do very nicely with all these procedures, I think doing them together is risky and I would recommend against it. The rate of complications goes up with the duration of surgery. You may want to have your breast augmentation lift and fat transfer to the buttocks (Brazilian butt lift) in one procedure and do the tummy tuck, if you still want it, 6 months later. The advantage of doing this way is that the tummy could be thoroughly liposuctioned (for grafting to the... more
