Hello, I am a 45 yrs old women mother of two, who wishes to have an arm lift and 360 liposuction, my doctor suggested this could be done in one day but would take 6-7 hours which was quite scary for me, after he knew my concern i asked if this could be done in 2 days: 1 day arms and the next 360 liposuction. Is it safe to have 2 procedures one day after the other? Thanks in advance!
Answer: Hello Hello, a safe plastic surgery should not last more than 7 hours, the two procedures you want can be performed in the same surgery, it also depends on the type of anesthesia the safety of the procedure, but if you divide it into two days it can also be done, it can even be done with 1 week of separation.

Answer: Not safer if you do them as close to each other. If you decide to separate the procedures, you'd need to allow your body to have enough time to recover from one procedure to be able to have the second one with less risk of complications (usually at least 3-6 months in between), as opposed to having them done in the same date. If you do them in 2 separate stages, but only allow one day to pass, it's basically the same, with more risks and most likely than not, cost, than if you did them together.

Answer: Patient Safety - Combining armlift and 360 liposuction thank you for posting your question. Sometimes it is preferred to space out 2 procedures depending on a patients risk factors and expected restrictions. A 4-6 week break is commonly practiced to reduce operative risks and to allow healing. It is probably best to discuss your concerns and reasoning with your plastic surgeon, so he/she can address those.

Answer: Surgery It might be safer to do both together so that you have just one period of general anesthesia. This would also need to be done at a facility that has overnight care. Otherwise, I suggest doing the liposuction first and coming back 2 weeks later to do the arms. The liposuction is not as invasive as the arm surgery, and you would still have your arms to help move out of bed and chairs.
