I 75lb and maintained for years. Went through, and survived some trauma. I never thought I'd be in a place to afford this, but now I have the chance. It's 1 shot. I want to get arm lift, breast lift/augmentation and 360lipo/tummy tuck. Is this too much at one time? I don't want to jeopardize any healing/results. Thanks!!

Answer: Can I safely get arm lift, breast lift/augmentation and 360lipo/tummy tuck at one time? You would need to be examined and your medical records reviewed by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy for having all procedures completed during one surgery lasting no more than 6 hours. Select a board certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in all three procedures Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Combination procedures can be safe if the operator is experienced and an expert in all the procedures The answer is a qualified yes. I would caution you about "1 shot" because even if you do a combined procedure there is chance that you will want to return for a revision or touchup. Your plastic surgeon needs to be experienced and proficient in doing these procedures individually. Not all plastic surgeons are. Blood loss is a factor. Combined surgery is great, but not if the recovery is too painful or if you are anemic after surgery. It is generally best to avoid operations that are likely to take much longer than 6 hours.

Answer: Combining procedures Congratulations on your weight loss! If you are wanting the best results, you will want to consider breaking these procedures into two stages. Most surgeons prefer to limit the surgical time to 6 hours or less, and the procedures you are considering will exceed that time. I recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation.

Answer: Can I safely get arm lift, breast lift/augmentation and 360lipo/tummy tuck at one time? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, combination surgical procedures are done routinely. However, you are wise in being concerned about the safety of combination surgery; risks/possible complications do increase with increased length of surgery… In my opinion, the combination procedures you are considering would be too much to perform in a single session.
