I want to do the following procedures and was wondering if they can be combined in one anesthesia: 1- Deep plane facelift 2- Cheeks fat graft 3- lip lift 4- Mommy makeover (with 360 liposuction and fat removal from arms and thighs) 5- Breast fat transfer
Answer: Combined Procedures When considering multiple cosmetic procedures, the process involves careful planning to ensure safety and optimal results. It's common to combine surgeries, but there are typically limits on the duration of each operation to ensure patient safety. The general guideline is that elective surgeries should not exceed 6 hours, though this can vary depending on your surgeon's approach and experience and your individual risk profile.

Answer: Multiple Procedures Combining multiple face and body procedures under one anesthesia is a common practice in cosmetic and plastic surgery. This approach, known as combination or multiple procedures, can be advantageous as it reduces overall anesthesia time and allows for a more comprehensive transformation in a single session.

Answer: Just because you could, doesn't mean you should This is a set up for complications and issues. I think that as a surgeon I try to make sure I am fresh minded and focused for every patient. Most surgeons would agree that around the 6 hour mark you will be hard pressed to maintain focus. Additionally, its a physiologic strain on your body for recovery, risk of infection, etc. There is a saying that was going around on instagram recently that this reminded me of. "You can have it fast, you can have it good, you can have it cheap: pick two”. If you were my patient, I would sit you down, ask you to tell me your top three concerns. Focus there. Create a plan moving forward. I hope that you take some time to consider this. Best of luck!

Answer: Multiple surgeries Thanks for your question! In most surgery centers, we have limitations on timing for how long we can safely operate on a patient. You are looking at many hours of surgery so you will be looking at 2 or possibly even 3 surgeries depending on what all you and your doctor decide on. Good luck!
