Tummy Tuck, Breast Aug, Breast Lift, Lipo Flanks
I frequently perform tummy tuck, breast aug, and full breast lift together. However, lipo of the whole body on top of that is pushing things. At some point, you have to say no more. Keeping elective surgeries of the body to under 4 hours is good advice for preventing complications.

Thank you for your question.
This is a very common question. Performing multiple procedures at the same time is safe but each case is different depending on the duration of surgery as well as the health of the patient.

Is This Too Much?
My vote is yes, unless you are admitted to the hospital for overnight observation. The issue is safety.
One factor is length of surgery, and as a rule I prefer to stay under 4 hours, many other surgeons prefer under 6 hours.

With an experienced surgeon, this combination of breast lift, breast augmentation and tummy tuck is a safe
The first question is what is your general health. If you are in good health then combining all these procedures together should not be a problem. In Florida this combination needs to be done in the hospital. You need to find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who frequently does these combined procedures in under 8 hours. You should ask to see photos of before and after views of similar patients and even talk with one of your surgeons patients before scheduling.

Multiple surgical procedures
It is temptin to patients and doctors to do multiple surgical procedures in one session.
surgery should be approached not as "how much I can do' or How fast i can do" it must be how safe it is. Patient safety comes first.
Multiple procedures can be done safely but the patient has to be fully evaluated before the surgery by the family physician and other specialists as needed.
Complete blood work, EKG should be normal.
No associated diseases, age, normal weight, Preveous...

Please confirm that your plastic surgeon is board certified plastic surgeon specifically by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. ...
