I Would Like to Have Multiple Procedures Performed. Is There a Way to Determine Which Should Go First or Perhaps Be Combined?

My concern is in whether or not combining procedures will affect my healing time or possibility of scarring or trauma during recovery, and if I get certain procedures done separately, how long should I wait between surgeries? The procedures I am interested in are Brazilian Butt Lift, labiaplasty, rhinoplasty, neck lift (and liposuction of the neck), and breast augmentation (and possibly a breast lift). Thank you so much for any guidance you can give me here!

Multiple surgeries

While combining some surgeries in one operative session is reasonable, I do not think that combining all these procedures is a good idea. Usually it is best to start with the areas that bother you most.

Multiple procedures

It is not wise to do too many procedures at the same time. Each procedure adds to the anesthesia time and may enhance the possibility of complications. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends keeping surgical times less than 6 hours. Discuss with your surgeon what procedures can be done prudently at one time. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

...I also am considering a blepharoplasty, as I am developing bags under my eyes, although I am hoping to have this corrected with fillers if that is possible rather than undergoing another surgery.
