Could I get lift, implants, lipo, tuck & fat graft to hip dips in 1 procedure?

Combining procedures is common and considered safe, but there is a limit. Typically elective plastic surgery is kept to about 6 hours of surgical time or less.

Doing liposuction of the flank area may show that you no longer have "hip dips' and just had excess fat in the flanks. Fat can also be removed from the lateral thighs as well if needed. I suggest keeping surgery below a 5 hour limit for safer anesthesia outcomes.

Combining multiple procedures like a breast lift, implants, liposuction, tummy tuck, and fat grafting to address hip dips in a single surgery is possible but quite extensive. It's commonly known as a "mommy makeover" when it involves procedures for both the breasts and abdomen.

The feasibility of combining these surgeries largely depends on various factors including:

Health and Safety: Your overall health and medical history play a significant role in determining the safety of multiple procedures under one anesthesia.

Surgical Complexity: Combining several surgeries can increase the complexity and duration of the operation. Surgeons need to ensure that the procedures can be safely performed within a reasonable timeframe to minimize complications.

Recovery: Recovery from multiple surgeries done simultaneously can be more challenging compared to individual procedures. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to manage recovery effectively.

Individual Anatomy: Each person's anatomy is unique, and the suitability of combining these procedures can vary based on your specific body structure and the desired outcomes.

It's crucial to have a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They will assess your health, discuss your goals, explain the risks and benefits, and help create a personalized plan that aligns with your expectations while prioritizing safety.

Remember, while it might be tempting to consolidate multiple surgeries into one session for convenience, your health and safety should be the primary concern. Therefore, follow your surgeon's recommendations and ensure you're comfortable with the proposed plan before proceeding.
