Combination surgeries can be safe.
Combining three surgeries at one time can be safe but I would recommend that you have a thorough evaluation by your primary physicians to be sure you are in excellent health. Be sure your doctors discuss whether they believe you will require autologous blood transfusion(s). Besure you exercise at least 1 hour every day before your surgery so that you are really able to get up and move around as soon as your doctors allow you to get out of bed.

Plastic surgery with ob/gyn procedures
Combining plastic surgery procedures with ob/gyn procedures such as abdominoplasty with breast augmentation and hysterectomy can be done safely together as long as you are healthy. Depending on how the hysterectomy is performed, you may have a higher risk of infection or deep venous thrombosis. Thus, your surgeon should take appropriate precautions to decrease these risks as much as possible and you will need to do your part by walking frequently and drinking lots of fluids after surgery and...

The Ultimate Mommy Makeover
Doing breast and abdominal reshaping with a hysterectomy procedure is not a rare combination of procedures and is perfectly safe...provided you are healthy and have no significant medical risk factors. Tummy tucks and hysterectomies are very commonly done together as it provides convenient access for the GYN surgeon and provides solutions to two problems in essentially one operation. Adding a breast augmentation to this combined abdominal procedure does not add significant operative time,...

Hysterectomy and tummy tuck and breast surgery
If the hysterectomy is for non-cancerour reasons and it is a straightforward simple procedure, then it is certainly possible to do them together if you are healthy as well.

Breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and hysterectomy.
As you have seen by the answers, this is a very controversial topic. I would recommend that you discuss these issues with your surgeons -- both your plastic surgeon and your gyn surgeon. The risks are definitely increased by combining all three procedures; but they can still be performed safely at the same time, under the right circumstances. The deciding factors include your general health, the complexity of the surgeries, and the comfort levels of your surgeons and...

I think it's safe
I have done it all at the same time. But --- first they do the hysterectomy and I only did the cosmetic part if that surgery went very smoothly and the patient was fine.

Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, and Hysterectomy at same surgical setting
Yes, I often operate with a ObGyn and perform a tummy tuck while ObGyn is performing a hysterectomy. The patients are very pleased with the result. Recuperation may be a slight bit longer than if either procedure were performed alone, but not significantly. Breast augmentation is commonly performed with a tummy tuck as part of a plastic surgery marketing package called "Mommy Makeover." This is a term I actually do not like as it makes women seem...

Combining tummy tuck with hysterectomy
Yes, it is possible to combine all of those procedures, but that may not be the safest approach. There may be an increased chance of complications when all of those procedures are combined into one surgery, so why take the chance? Cosmetic surgery is always elective, so I prefer to take the safest approach. I advise my patients to have the hysterectomy, allow your body to heal for at least 6 weeks, and then proceed with the tummy tuck and breast surgery.

Combining tummy tuck, hysterectomy, and breast augmentation
Each of these procedures is separately safe.
When considering combining all three the risks do slightly go up. Discuss this carefully with your doctors.
You will have a slightly increased risk of developing clots in your legs (deep venous thrombosis = DVT) which can place you at risk for a clot breaking free and traveling to your lungs, PE = pulmonary embolus. This can be fatal!
When considering undergoing all three, make sure that your doctors/surgeon have you on a specific...

Combination procedures are safe under the right circumstances
Hi there-
Assuming your doctors all agree that combining the procedures is safe for you as an individual, there should be no reason you can't go along.
Be careful to follow all instructions carefully.

Safe in the right setting
Anon,
These combined procedures can be performed safely. The requirements would be: 1. You are completely healthy, 2. Your surgery is being performed in an accredited facility, presumably a hospital for the hysterectomy, 3. You have no other risk factors, such as obesity, smoking. Good luck!

Multiple Cosmetic surgeries can be safely combined
In an healthy individual it perfectly fine to combine multiple surgeries into one surgical procedure. Thus patient can recover from all of them at same time.
Go ahead with your Mommy Make over surgery as scheduled

Tummy-tuck, Breast Aug and Hestorectomy at Once?Answer:
I understand the difference of opinion amongst all of us on this topic and it really depends on your surgeons comfort and yours. I personally do them together frequently and have not had a complication. Most of the time the hysterectomies are done laparoscopic and seem to be less invasive. I would try and make sure though that your Plastic Surgeon works frequently with your GYN...

Elective cosmetic surgery and hysterectomy
There is an increased risk of forming deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli (a potentially fatal complication) when combining intraabdominal/GYN procedures and plastic surgery procedures. In addition, abdominoplasty alone carries one of the highest risks for blood clots among common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. I would ask your surgeons about this and what precautions will be taken to reduce the risk. It is always safer to stage these procedures, in...

Multiple surgeries at once
Lot of surgery and anesthesia. Could be done but risks are increased. I would require blood thinner post op to decrease possibility of blood clot and the gyn surgeon may not agree. Best to stage treatment in my opinion. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Hysterectomy and abdominoplasty
Years ago it was very common to combine a tummy tuck with a hysterectomy. Then some articles came out in the medical literature indicating a significant increase in deep blood clots that could be potentially fatal with this combination and many surgeons, myself included will no longer accept that risk for our patients. Cosmetic procedures are elective and is does not make sense to me to do things that raise risk merely for convenience. I would strongly recommend you have the...

Combining hysterectomy with cosmetic procedures
I personally would not perform an abdominoplasty at the same time as a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy can result in bleeding and, since I am a basically bloodless surgeon, I would not want to assume the risks inherent in someone else's procedure and compromise the result of my operation. Obviously, having said this, I would not combine the hysterectomy with a breast augmentation as well.

Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Hysterectomy?
Thank you for the question.
The answer to your question comes down to a judgment call. The doctors involved need to make a judgment after getting to know you, your goals, and their own abilities whether this combination of surgery will be “safe”. Personally, given my own life experience, I would rather not be involved with this combination surgery (as a plastic surgeon). For me, this is a judgment call that is easy to make; I would rather be in...
