A: Multiple surgeries is not what I would do!

By Daniel P. Markmann, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

I definitely would not recommend the combination of the Brazilian Butt Lift with the breast implants. The tummy tuck/ Brazilian combo is workable, but I think you are setting yourself up for problems with your breast implants if you have them at the same time.

A: Positioning after multiple surgeries

By Ricardo Rodriguez, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Agree about risks of multiple procedures. Even if you were "only" doing Brazilian Butt lift and breast augmentation, these two require positioning that is mutually exclusive. If you lay on your stomach to protect the Butt lift, you are interfering with the proper settling in of the breast... more

A: Postop Positioning

Laying on your back with some pillows under your knees and thighs and pillows behind your back. I would however discuss this with your plastic surgeon. And please make sure that you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for all that surgery you are having done. Good luck.

A: Multiple procedures an post-op positioning

A: You can lay on you back

A: Be very careful with multiple surgeries

By Michael Kulick, MD - San Francisco Plastic Surgeon

You have a lot of things happening to you. The fact that you are asking this question is not a good sign; all this should have been covered by you and your surgeon. What another doctor might do is probably not good advice to follow as you are undergoing a lot of surgery and need to follow the exact... more

A: This is a potentially lethal combination of surgeries

By Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD - Los Angeles Oculoplastic surgeon

Dear Alma I appreciate the desire to get all "madeover." Unfortunately, you are the only one out there with your own best interests. Laying down after this combination of surgeries is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem will be, can you get up? The mortality for the combination of surgeries... more

A: Will be difficult

By David Shafer, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

First of all, make sure that you are not doing too much surgery at one time. It is nice to try to get everything done at one surgery, but it may be too much stress on your body or make your recovery too uncomfortable. In most cases, however, you should be fine. Just make sure that you... more
