Are there added risks when combining surgical procedures? Ask Dr Ellen

Hello Nancy, The straight up answer to your question is: more procedures at one time = more complications and risks There are no guarantees. Thanks for asking! Dr Ellen

Doing tummy tuck with butt lift and breast augmentation/breast lift at the same time

It's possible to have all these procedures done at same time but there are increased risks associated with prolong surgical time and anesthesia duration. There are several considerations for determining whether these combination of procedure should be performed at the same time. One concern regarding tummy tuck, breast augmentation and Brazilian buttock lift is how are you going to position yourself during the recovery period after the surgery. I like my patients to be in supine position... more

Regarding safety of combination plastic surgery procedures including tummy tuck, brazilian butt lift, and breast lift/augment

Thanks for your question! When procedures are combined, the potential for complication increases. This is largely due to the amount of time spent under general anesthesia with the increased risk for developing deep venous thromboses (blood clots) and pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal problem. The other less threatening problems such as infection, bleeding, hematoma, seroma, and wound healing issues, also generally trend upwards when combination procedures are... more

Breast Aug, Full Breast Lift, and Tummy Tuck at the Same Time

I think that if you are otherwise healthy and if your breasts are not grossly asymmetric, the likelihood is that all can be performed at the same time in a safe manner. The tummy tuck may take 1.5 hrs, the augmentation 15 minutes, and the full breast lift 2 hrs (if you only need a circumareolar or vertical this may only take 45 minutes or an hour). more

Risk of multiple procedures

I think that you have to consider the location of the incisions and whether they will be pulling against each other. Longer operations have a greater risk of complications such as infection or blood clots. I would discuss this carefully with your surgeon.

Is It Safe to Have Tt Bbl and Bl with Ba at the Same Tiime?

My inclination would be to do the TT and breast surgery as a first stage, then proceed later with the liposuction and BBL. Part of this would depend on the nature of the breast lift and how long that would take, and that can vary a lot depending on what is needed. I prefer to keep outpatient OR times to 4 hours, many others will go to 6. Many operative risks increase with longer OR times. The usual standard is that for surgery longer than 6 hours, patients should be observed (admitted)... more

Mommy makeover with Brazilian Butt Lift, Abdominoplasty, and Breast Augmentation

My guess is that you are pushing the envelope for the number of procedures that can be safely accomplished in one setting. The downside of combining brazilian butt lift with any procedure is the positioning. The factors to consider are 1. what are the donor sites for the fat going to be 2. how long does your surgeon take to perform the procedures and 3. are you going to be spending the night in the hospital to recover. I personally do not like to... more

Surgery

This sounds like a lot of surgery to be having at the same time. I think it is insane and to do all of these at once

Is It Safe To Have BL with BI, TT, and BBL All At One Time?

The answer to your question is probably yes, but also possibly no. If you are both physically and emotionally healthy, you have recovery time and a good home support system, and if your plastic surgeon is Board Certified and he or she is very experienced in the multiple surgeries of a Mommy Makeover, and if your plastic surgeon has an overnight facility available, then my answer would be yes. On the other hand, if any of the elements listed above are missing, then I would... more

Its starting to be a little too much

Hello, Thank you for the question. A tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast augmentation performed at the same time is safe. It takes me about 5-6 hours to perform these three procedures. A brazilian buttock lift (BBL) will be another 2 hours and for me that would result in a 7-8 hour case. In the right hands these four procedures can be performed at the same time safely but the combination of procedures can easily go into the 10+ hour time frame if the surgeon is... more

Is It Safe to Have Tt Bbl and Bl with Ba at the Same Tiime

There are so many factors in determining if you can under go these combination of operations that over the internet very hard to advise. In my practice I can plan on doing multiple operations in one setting but if you have blood loss, excess time than I forego doing all the operations and separating them into 2 stages. I ask the patient their order of areas to be done. In most cases start with Implants+lifting than proceed to TT. The BBL with lipo might be done as a secondary operation. more

Tummy Tuck, Brazilian Butt Lift, and Breast Lift/Aug at same time?

In healthy motivated patients, it is common to combine multiple surgeries. In my practice, doing these 3 surgeries at the same time is not uncommon. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced at these procedures to discuss your specific risks. As long as these can be done in less than 6 hours, your surgical risk should be low.

Multiple Procedures Often Safe During Single Surgery

Multiple Procedures - Two Surgeries or One? From your description you wish to have a Brazilian Butt lift, Breast Lift and Augmentation. In my practice I try to limit surgeries to less than 6 hours to decrease risks. The procedures that you mentioned can all be done in that time period so I would recommend one surgery. To minimize anesthesia and surgical time and therefore your risks but not your results I also use a second surgical assistant (surgeon, PA, or RNFA) to decrease total OR... more

Mommy Makeover Surgery

If you are referring to having a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with breast lift at the same time, in general this is safe. Of course you would need to be in good health, and would need to have proper medical clearance. A consultation with a surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery will help you decide which procedures can safely be performed together.

Multiple procedures

It is very tempting to perform multiple surgical procedures in one session for both doctor and patient. When a patient presents to our office with the idea of multiple procedures, we need to discuss what are the ultimate results you desire. how extensive the surgery needed, and your general health and your particular risks for the surgery. The surgeon should not be working against time, we should bbe striving to perform the best procedure to achieve the best result regardless of the... more

Is it safe to have a BBL, TT and breast augmentation at the same time?

It is common to have more than one procedure at the same time. In our office we have performed a TT along with the BBL and breast augmentation on a number of occasions. But each patient must be individualized when having these three procedures. I would be hesitant to perform the above procedures if they are extensive, if the patient is quite overweight and/or if there is any health issue. If there is any question of patient safety it is better to cut back on the number of simultaneous... more

Is combined surgery safe?

I think you are asking if you can safely have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with breast lift at the same time? I'm not sure what the other procedure is referring to. The answer is yes, in the proper setting. This is a lot of surgery but under the care of a board-certified plastic surgeon, proper anesthetic care and in an accredited surgical facility, you should do well. The other important factor is your health to start with. Your plastic surgeon will examine you, go over your medical... more
