Can a breast augmentation and face, neck and eyelid lift be performed at the same time?

Thank you for your question. Breast augmentation should probably not be combined with a face, neck, and eyelid lift due to a combination of age and length of surgery. Its not recommended to perform more than 6 hours of anesthesia on patients in general, and especially not in patients over the age of 60. The combination of all of these procedures would likely go over that 6 hour limit. The goal is to cap off the length of surgery in order to minimize the risk of complications, such as blood clots, infections, or anesthesia-related issues. So, your surgeon may recommend staging the procedures if they estimate that total surgery time could exceed the recommended safe duration. Also, since you experienced a hematoma in the past, your surgeon will likely take extra precautions to prevent this, such as closely monitoring blood pressure and using specific surgical techniques to minimize bleeding.

Dear Gregarious2918,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.
