Combined surgery - is it safe to get liposuction, facelift, breast implants and rhinoplasty at once?

Hello,Thanks for your inquiry and I am glad you are asking this question. As much as we would like to do everything in a single setting it is often best to stage multiple procedures. You have to consider the risks of prolonged anesthesia and then complications during the post operative recovery period. My suggestion would be to do these in 2 stages, you can decide which one to do first based on what bothers you the most. One stage would be facelift and rhinoplasty and another stage would be liposuction/breast augmentation. I personally do not advocate the placement of breast implants and you can consider/discuss the option of fat transfer to the breasts with your liposuction. This is something to review with your board certified plastic surgeon.Hope this helps Dr. Dev

Combining procedures is common and considered safe, but there is a limit. For elective plastic surgery it is recommended to limit surgical time to six hours. This is both for safety as well as to prevent diminished results. With the procedures you mentioned it is likely best to break them into two stages.
