How many plastic surgeries can you have at one time?

Dear Ms. Tcooley,Thank you for your questions.Unfortunately with out photos, a review of your past/current medical history and a exam of your tissues I can can only comment based your story, however I hope you find my comments helpful.Bottom line: safety is our major concernMULTIPLE PROCEDURESOnly after a complete review of your medical history and a complete exam can the final decision be made on how many procedures can be performed in one setting.Assuming no major health issues multiple procedures are often done in one surgical setting.RECOVERYHopefully, you will be meeting with your Plastic Surgeon prior to your surgery to go over all the pre and post operative instructions and to answer all your questions.I suggest you make a written list of your questions.I reccommend you make a list of your questions and schedule several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Thank you for our question. I would recommend the breast lift and TT in one surgery and the BBL with a second surgery in any order. The healing for a BBL requires ou to lay on your abdomen or stand for 2 weeks, and the TT and breast lift requires you to be on your back during recovery. Speak with a PS to discuss if you are a candidate. Best, 

Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands. The surgeon HAS to be an expert in EACH procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures and can minimize the operative time. For example, we work in a team and would take around 4-5 hours for the complete operation. This allows us to get better results with less surgical time and less trauma. Our patients are typically wlking the same day and tapering off of pain medications by 4-5 days. By a week, our internattional patients are generally touring around Cartagena enjoying the sites of this UNSECO World Heritage City. Patients progress to unrestricted activities by 2 months, just as the final results are settling in.Combination procedures can give powerful results but SAFETY is KEY. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
