Is it safe to get breast implant, Tummy Tuck, lipo with BBL all at once?

Thank you for your question.  There is a limit on what can be done at one time, and it does depend on what is being done and how long it would take.  What you describe is actually done fairly commonly, and we do in our practice quite often without issues.  I would recommend that you have a board certified plastic surgeon performing your procedure and that you feel comfortable with your surgeon.  All the best, 

It's difficult to suggest without a in-person one-on-one consultation. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair.  The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.  #Combined operations are often performed with our #Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with a #MommyMakeover. If you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your physician and board-certified plastic surgeon. Also, combining these #procedures may decrease anesthetics, costs, and recovery time.

Many other procedures can be combined. Cosmetic procedures such as Brazilian Butt Lift (#BBL), Thigh Lift (#TL) and Mommy Makeover (#MMO), which usually concentrates on the breast and abdomen areas, may be combined together. However, I look at the risk factors such as surgery time greater than 6 hours, or #anesthesia time, increased risks of DVT, prolonged  #healing, #positioning after surgery to name a few, which are a lot to consider. These factors are relative to performing any variety of combinations.  All surgical procedures carry some degree of #risk. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation.Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Ultimately your surgeon will decide if these procedures can be done together. Your health, overall size, and the efficiency of your surgeon will factor into whether or not these can be done together safely.

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately without photos and more importantly, an in-person evaluation, it is nearly impossible to tell you what would be best for you.  Although I routinely perform this combination of procedures for patients' mommy makeovers, you will need to be evaluated in person by a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what would be both best and realistic for you.  He or she will also be able to discuss the risks associated with the procedures you are eligible for, prolonged anesthesia, etc.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

I think every surgeon will have a different answer based on the fact that each surgeon's operative time may vary a bit.  We limit outpatient surgery to somewhere around 5-6 hours under anesthesia.  The other consideration is how long each component of the mommy makeover will take i.e. if your liposuction is a large liposuction of multiple areas, you may want to do part of the liposuction a different day.  Best Wishes!!

I have successfully done all of those surgeries at once, but the success depends upon proper patient selection. Therefore, I would need to evaluate you in person to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the surgery that you would like.Thank you for your question!Dr. Schreiber, Baltimore plastic surgeon

Thank you for your question. Depending on the amount of time anticipated in the OR it may be possible to complete all of your desired procedures, but in most surgeon's hands this will test the amount of time advisable for an aesthetically-based case. An in-person examination is needed to make the best advice, so be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon.

Since the hit TV show "Extreme Makeover", multiple cosmetic procedures performed at the same time became very popular because of the dramatic transformation that took place after surgery. However, various factors must be considered, like your state of health, the types of procedures being considered as well as their length and time to complete. When I participated in the show, I agreed to perform multiple procedures at the same time only if the patients were in good health and I could complete the surgery in 6 hours or less. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon that is comfortable with multiple procedures, but do not hesitate staging the procedures into 2 separate sessions. Good luck!

Combined procedures are common and what you are describing is not out of line.  Do make sure you see an experienced surgeon boarded by the ABPS, and discuss the slightly increased risks of complications and recovery.  Jane

It is common and considered safe to combine procedures but there is a limit. Typically it is recommended to limit elective plastic surgery to six hours or less of surgical time. Depending on the details of your surgery you may be better off dividing your planned procedures into two stages. This would be for your safety as well as to give your surgeon the opportunity to optimize your results.
