Multiple procedures for a healthy 25-year-old?

Hello, I am 25 years old, 5'2'' tall and I weigh 135 lbs. I have not had a baby yet but I want to have a small tummy tuck and liposuction done all over my abdomen, back, love handles, inner thighs, under my chin, and take the good fat and do a Brazilian butt lift. Can I have that all done at the same time? I am also in very good health. I would be thankful if you reply. Thank You!

A: Multiple procedures

William  Bruno, MD

Based on your height and weight, you may be a candidate for liposuction and a fat transfer to your buttock, depending on the quality of your skin. If you are planning to have children in the future, you may want to consider delaying your tummy tuck until you have completed having children. If your lower... more

A: Multiple Procedures can be OK at the same time

Parham Ganchi, MD

First, you  must determine with your surgeon what procedures are best to achieve your goals. You must determine if your goals are realistic. Tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction. I wouldn't do tummy tuck and lipoinjection to the buttocks at the same time as your recovery will be compromised.... more

A: Multiple Procedure

David Shafer, MD

 Yes, it is possible and safe to do multiple procedures in a young and healthy patient as long as you are having your surgery in an accredited facility by competent surgeons.  If you are planning on having babies in the next few years, you should hold off on the tummy tuck.  Liposuction and butt... more

A: Are multiple procedures healthy for a 25-year-old?

Ricardo Rodriguez, MD

 The main danger in a healthy patient is length of general anesthesia. Risks start to increase after 4 hours of surgery. These risks can be avoided with the use of deep IV sedation anesthesia. A small caveat in your particular case is that if you have not had a baby yet I would hold off on the Tummytuck... more

A: Multiple procedures.

George J. Beraka, MD

Hi! 1)  Don't have any kind of tummy tuck until you are finished having babies. 2)  Liposuction of the areas you list and fat injections into your butocks (Brasilian butt lift) are fine to do all together in someone like you. 3)  You don't want too long anesthesia time or too much blood loss,... more

A: Multiple procedures in a healthy patient

John E. Gross, MD

It may be possible and safe to do the procedures you describe, in a select group of patients for the right reasons.  If you have not yet had a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery(ASAPS) or the American Society of Plastic... more

A: Multiple procedures

Steven Wallach, MD

Hacving multiple procedures within reason is certainly okay in a young healthy individual. If you are planning to have children, I would wait to get a tummy tuck.

A: Wait for the tummy tuck

William B. Rosenblatt, MD

Get evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon -- let them tell you what is appropriate for you . .Just because you want a tummy tuck doesnt mean it is the proper treatment. Otherwise, what you want done should be appropriate for one surgery.

A: Your choice of multiple procedures seem reasonable but why a tummy tuck?

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

This sounds like a reasonable combination because a Brazillian Butt Liff often requires harvesting from multiple donor sites to obtain sufficient fat. I am confused about your request for a tummy tuck. This is extremely unusual in a normal healthy nulliparous 25 year old. Unless you have gained/lost... more

A: Multiple cosmetic procedures at the same time are reasonable within reason

Carl W. "Rick" Lentz III, MD

 It sounds like the amount of liposuction you are considering together with a Brazilian Butt Lift is reasonable. If it is anticipated that there will be over 5000 cc of suction than it should be done in the hospital. The surgery should also be completed in less then 5-6 hours. You should also wait to have... more
