I've decided to have a full Tummy tuck,breast lift,breast augmentation with lipo of the flanks. My plastic surgeon seems to be ok with doing all the procedures at once and said it will be an eight hour surgery. Although I want to get everything out of the way I'm now feeling very scared knowing I will be under anesthesia for so long. Wanted to get other opinions on weather or not doing all this procedures at once may or may not be a good idea?
Answer: Not for elective aesthetic procedures There is plenty of studies that show complications increase after 6 hours of surgery. Some procedures when medically necessary can take longer but the patient needed them to improve their health. For aesthetic procedures it is not worth the additional risks from a long procedure.

Answer: Surgery length and safety I personally do not like surgeries that take more than about 5 hours. But if your surgeon is comfortable with 8 hours of surgery and is board certified and is operating in an accredited facility with excellent anesthesia help, it could be safe. The liposuction would be the biggest issue if you were my patient. There is a big difference between some touch up lipo of the flanks with a tummy tuck and 4 liters of liposuction. Splitting surgeries up is always a safe decision in my opinion.

Answer: Combination surgery This is definitely a lot of surgery. I would say that the tummy tuck breast lift should be more like 4 to 5 hours. Adding the implants and liposuction probably does dot increase the time that much. It is the combination of surgeries and the number of areas that may be more concerning than just the time alone. If the surgeon thinks it is acceptable based on your health, that is the best indicator.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Mommy makeovers involve various combinations of proceudres to improve the breasts, abdomen, hips, back, arms, legs, buttocks, etc after childbirth. Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands. The surgeon HAS to be an expert in EACH procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures and can minimize the operative time. For example, we work in a team and would take around 4-5 hours for the complete operation. This allows us to get better results with less surgical time and less trauma. Our patients are typically wlking the same day and tapering off of pain medications by 4-5 days. By a week, our internattional patients are generally touring around Cartagena enjoying the sites of this UNSECO World Heritage City. Patients progress to unrestricted activities by 2 months, just as the final results are settling in. Combination procedures can give powerful results but SAFETY is KEY. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
