How many surgeries can a plastic surgeon do in 1 day if they all get BBL and Tummy Tuck?

Question

Alex Campbell, MD · Answer

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.

that will depend on who performs the surgery, If the surgeon you choose is like me, and he performs the surgery from start to the end then the maximum surgeries will be 4 per day, if all of them ONLY have liposuction and tummy tuck, we are talking around 3 hours per surgery. Of course some doctors have the possibility to operate in 2 or even 3 OR at the same time, and use the help of assistants that usually are the ones that do the liposuction and sutures , they can do way more than 4 per day. I try to never perform more than 2 surgeries per day, because after that I usually am really tired, and I dont like that anyone else do the surgery for me. I think liposuction and sutures are as important as the rest of the surgery so I try to do as most as possible myself. Also i need time to see the other patients so if I do more than 2 I will not have any free time at all.
