Is it safe to have multiple surgeries over the course of a year?

Question

Ideally a patient would want to do several surgeries at the same time ( simple revision augmentation, upper bleph, nose) to save $ as well as be easiest recovery. But what if these were spread out in order to have the best possible surgeon for each procedure? Would this be unsafe or not recommended for any reason? An example schedule might be a simple revision BA March, Bleph July, Nose in October.

Generally speaking, assuming you are in good health and in good hands, multiple procedures over the course of a year generally well tolerated. Best wishes.

Payman Danielpour, MD, FACS · Answer

In my practice we tend to do multiple procedures frequently because there are multiple surgeons with multiple specialties that can all work together.  I prefer to undergo 1 operation and do everything rather than going for surgery multiple times.

Milind K. Ambe, MD · Answer

I think the schedule you propose for surgery is reasonable.  As long as you have no health problems and your surgeries are performed by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Board Certified Anesthesiologist (for anesthesia) then this type of surgery schedule seems ok.  Best of luck to you
