Is It Dangerous Having Multiple Procedures Done Such As in a Mommy Makeover for Example?

June 3, 2013
Asked By:chrmik in Guelph, ON

I'm going under the knife for a mommy makeover in about 3 weeks and I'm getting a bit paranoid. I know there are certain inherent risks to surgery in general, but are there more involved in this? I'm getting a tummy tuck with lipo on my hips and a breast augmentation. I heard of a woman who died two days post a mommy makeover surgery. Or..is it factors such as obesity, smoking etc, that make it more risky? I'm healthy, young, don't smoke and I'm not overly heavy.
