Elective surgery more than 4 hours not advisable
Time is money! Or so the saying goes. But with surgery, less time is like gold! Do not undertake an elective surgery that takes longer than 4 hours.

Mommy Make Over: Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation and Brazilian Butt Lift at same time
Longer surgeries more than 4-6 hours do have increased complications. However, the vast majority of patients will do well with the simultaneous procedures you mentioned given that your surgeon can achieve them less than 6 hours of surgery and uses precautions to help prevent clots in your legs (deep venous thrombosis).

Brazilian Butt lift, Tummy Tuck and Breast implant Augmentation Simultaneously
This combination can be completed with the knowledge that you may be at increased risk for DVT. Other surgeons have concerns aobut post-operative positioning. because they do not want you to place pressure on the fat grafting to the buttocks. However, it would be nearly impossible for you to lay on your sides or stomach with the other two procedures. You must be aware of your breast asymmetry and options available for correction.

Combination procedures in plastic surgery

If the surgery is expected to be longer, the patient should plan to stay overnight at an aftercare facility or a hospital. Also, the patient should have appropriate medical clearance prior to the planned procedure and appropriate prophylaxis against...

Safety is key when planning multiple cosmetic procedures

To reduce the number of anesthetics given for each procedure
To lower the overall cost for O.R. time and Anesthesia fees
