Multiple procedures require coordination and good medical advice

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: How to have multiple plastic surgery procedures safely?

I am having Smart Lipo with suction done on my upper back and flanks in a few days. I also plan to have a Tummy tuck, Breast augmentation with Lift and possibly Brazilian butt lift with Fat grafting.

I almost forgot that I will also be having a Bladder lift soon. How long should I wait between surgeries and in what order should I have them?

It seems that you need to prepare your future surgeries very well. First, a general medical clearance with medical history, exam, and labs.

Second a coordination between the different physicians taking care of you is essential. A smart lipo first followed later on by a fat transfer could be counter productive, as you will need this fat in the future for the transfer.

It is not uncommon to allow 3-6 months between surgeries if you are healthy to allow proper recovery.

Best of luck!
