Am Having Eyelid and Neck Surgery. Would Doing the Batwings at Same Time Be Ok?

Hi, I'm 60, and always wanted my fatty eyelids done...now that I'm older, and have lost a significant amount of weight, the neck needs work too. I was going to get those done together, but I am also considering having the batwings done. I'd prefer to get it all over with at once, and not have to 'go under' a 2nd time. But is that too much, or incompatible to do at the same time? Thanking you in advance! Sophie

Combined Procedures Possible

Combined procedurs such as those descrbed are safe as long as you do not have any signficant medical problems and your surgeon can perform these procdures efficiently. Seek consultation from a surgeon with signficant experience in body contouring and facial surgery after weight loss. Best wishes.

In general, arm lift can be done together with eyelids and neck.

Hi. If you are in excellent health and your anatomy is not difficult, it is probably OK. As has been mentioned, a board certified anesthesiologist and an accredited operating room and recovery room are mandatory.

Can I have an Eyelift, Necklift, and Arm lift surgery all at the same time?

FL and Eyelids. ??Arms too??

It is certainly possible for your surgeon to do these procedures at the same setting, but the question is is it safe. Part of this depends upon surgical times. Most surgeons in the US use 6 hours as a maximum unless the patient will be admitted to the hospital. Some, myself included, prefer four hours. Many systemic risks increase when surgery lasts longer than those threshold times. Check with your surgeon, and if appropriate with your primary physician. Whichever... more

Combined Facial and Arm lifting Surgery?

Thank you for the question. It is often possible to have multiple procedures performed at the same time. The first priority for plastic surgeon and patient should be safety considerations of having a longer procedure performed. In my practice, I would ask that you obtain “medical clearance” from your internist or family practitioner before embarking on any procedure. Personally I would ask that you have the procedures performed in 2 stages. I hope this helps. more

Multiple surgeries

Hello. It is always possible to do multiple surgeries at the same time if you are medically stable and are cleared by your medical doctor. It is quite a lot of surgery however in terms of recovery. Probably better to do second surgery few months later
