Is It Possible to Have a Neck Lift, Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck at the Same Time?

Thank you for sharing your story with us!  Multiple procedures can be accomplished in one operative setting.  The limiting factor is time under anesthesia.  For your three procedures there are many variables to consider such as the adjunctive use of liposuction and or fat grafting both of which add to the overall length of time involved.  As stated before, you need to prioritize your surgeries and have a careful discussion with your plastic surgeon to see what can be done SAFELY.  Should you do all three at once, I would recommend that you at the very least have an overnight stay in the hospital for postoperative monitoring.  The other option is to see a surgeon who works in concert with another surgeon to expedite the operation, this should cut down on the time considerably.  If you go this route, you should meet both surgeons.  I utilize this "team" surgery for some of my breast reconstruction free flap cases as well as for large body contouring procedures.  Even with the time saving, I would recommend the overnight stay.  Good luck and keep us posted of your progress.

I would not recommend trying to tackle all of those operations in one setting.  It is recommended to keep operation times to about six hours maximum.  Different surgeons operate at different rates of speed.  There may be some surgeons that can accomplish your operations under the six hour mark but I am willing to stand on the premise that most surgeons could not.

I agree with Dr. Morgan: it is essential for you to discuss your priorities with your surgeon; however multiple procedures take longer in theatre and the risks related increase.

It also depends on the surgical techniques selected in your case for your necklift and abdominoplasty. The advise I would give to a patient like you, in my practice, would be to start with the abdominoplasty and possibly necklift, recover and after the appropriate time proceed with the breast reduction.

In the meatime, in preparation of the first 2 procedures, I would advice to try to increase the level of fitness to be at your best at the time of surgery.

All the best.
