Liposuction can be combined with other procedures if deemed safe

Liposuction is often a major procedure in and of itself. I usually recommend only performing a few hours of liposuction at any one time. Often, other complimentary procedures are performed at the same operation, such as breast reduction/lift/augmentation, or abdominoplasty. Adding a procedure to remove uterine fibroids may or may not be appropriate or safe.

Multiple combined pelvic, gynecologic, and liposuction procedures.

Surgical risks will be related to time required for the procedures, approaches to pelvic structures, co-morbid diseases, extent of surgery, etc. While they can all be performed simultaneously, it may not be in your best interests.

Gynecologic procedures and liposuction

While I have done some procedures with other physisicans, you really would need to provide more info. Like in how they plan on removing the fibroid.

Avoid doing liposuction along with a gynecologic procedure

Although it may be done, there is a possibility of developing serious complications when liposuction is done with intrabdominal surgery. It is safer to have these surgeries done separately.

Fibroid Removal and Abdominal / Breast Liposuction Be Combined

I would not combine these operations due to the risk of PE is much higher. You need to discuss with the GYN surgeon and the PS in detail. As for me NO WAY! From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski, 305 598 0091
