Is it possible to get a Mommy Makeover + Mini Facelift at the same time?

Hi from ıstanbul,Thank you for this question.Mini facelift and mommy makeover surgeries should not be combined in one surgery. Both of the surgeries carry risk for thrombosis, and the risk rises when the duration of the surgery is longer.

Dear Brave595,

I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Thank you for your question. A Mommy Makeover can be combined with a mini facelift in a single surgical session, but several important factors must be considered. The total operating time should be under 6 to 8 hours to minimize risks such as blood clots, infection, or complications from prolonged anesthesia. A Mommy Makeover is already a lengthy procedure, and adding a mini facelift could extend the operating time, potentially requiring these procedures to be performed in separate sessions. Additionally, your age, overall health, and lifestyle habits play significant roles in determining whether it is safe for you to combine these procedures. However, your surgeon will make this decision after assessing your goals and health.

I personally do not recommend and would not perform all surgeries at once. The duration of the surgery is very crucial. Therefore, being under general anesthesia for so long presents a risk for the patients.

In general, it is best to stage major body and facial operations separately. Due to the required anesthesia time, I usually recommend doing the face lift first, and then follow up with the mommy makeover about 3 months later.

Yes, it is possible. However, depending on your age, health, weight and medical conditions. A mommy make-over may take 4-6 hours, and a mini-facelift 2-3 hours. It would probably be safer to separate these procedures into two separate dates. This would be safer.
