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: Mulitple procedures Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. I frequently combine multiple procedures into one surgical setting. Safety must always be the number one priority. In my practice, I would recommend separating these into two separate surgical settings, separated by three months. This will help to optimize your results and safety. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

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: 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. It is best to evaluate each patient's suitability for combination surgery on an individualized basis. During this consultation process, after a complete history and physical, the SAFETY of combining these surgical procedures becomes of paramount importance. Plastic surgeon, anesthesia provider, duration of surgery, surgery facility all important considerations. Your best bet: choose your plastic surgeon very carefully; everything else including good judgment/advice/planning, anesthesia provider and safe surgery facility will follow. Always keep priorities (safety, avoidance of complications, and quality of outcome) in mind as you make your decisions. Best wishes.

Answer: Can I safely get arm lift, breast lift/augmentation and 360lipo/tummy tuck at one time? An arm lift, 360 lipo with a tummy tuck and a breast lift augmentation are actually procedures that can be combined with no compromise to healing as long as you are healthy to undergo a big cosmetic surgery that requires 6+ hours of general anesthesia. Our goal for cosmetic plastic surgery is to keep the surgery under 7h. In my practice when I get a patient who desires multiple procedures that would require more than 7h of OR time, I have one of my partners help me. This allows us to work 2x as fast and keep the anesthesia time below 7h. I can do the 360 lipo + tummy tuck + breast lift with augmentation by myself in under 7h but adding the arm lift would require me to have one of my partners help.

Answer: Can I safely get arm lift, breast lift/augmentation and 360lipo/tummy tuck at one time? ONLY in hospital setting! By Florida Board of Medicine rule 64B8-9.009 can not combine office surgeries if over 5 hours long and if liposuction over 1 liter (2.2 pounds!!). So safer to separate the 360 lipo from other operations, or even consider 3 stages. Best to see boarded PSs in your area...
