Tummy tuck and chin lipo on the same day?

Thank you for your question.  Doing chin lipo at the same time as your TT is no big deal.  It's the perfect time to do it since you will be taking time off to recover from the TT.Good Luck.

Dear tkyzrIt is not only reasonable but also wise to performed combined procedures as lone as safety and recovery is well considered. In outpatient surgery as long as your operative time is approximately 5 hours or less, you are having safe surgery as far as time goes. Combining neck liposuction with abdominoplasty is safe and routinely performed. Look for an expereinced and properly trained plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. see more than one consult and make a well informed decision.

Combining
cosmetic plastic surgery procedures is not uncommon. Whether you are a
reasonable candidate for those procedures depends on your anatomy, your medical
history, realistic expectations of the outcome and an understanding of the pros
and cons of the various procedures.
Safety should always be the main concern. It is generally recommended that the
length of elective surgery be less than six hours. The procedures should be
performed in an ambulatory facility that is accredited by one of the
national organizations like the American Association for Accreditation of
Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF) or in a licensed hospital. Many
surgeons would recommend an overnight stay at an appropriate facility where you
can be appropriately monitored. Most patients prefer undergoing one anesthesia
and one recovery period which is usually more cost effective.
Keep in mind that following the advice of any surgeon on this or any other web
site who proposes to tell you what to do without: examining you, physically
feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, and taking a full medical
history, as well as discussing the pros and cons of each operative option would
not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon certified by The American Board of
Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with, and discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person. That way, you can have a better idea
what is safe and makes the most sense for you.
Before proceeding with a combination of these procedures, you should have
medical clearance from your primary care physician and a discussion between him
or her and your plastic surgeon.
