Is combining Hysterectomy and a Mommy Makeover safe?

The general answer is yes but specific to you it's impossible to say. Difficulty of the hysterectomy in the magnitude of the elective cosmetic cases will decide whether or not you are a good candidate.

Combined operations in general have a higher #complication rate and its difficult to determine what the possible complication rate can be.  That being said, some doctors are not always in agreement to #combine #gynecology and #cosmetic procedures together in one surgery time.

Also, timing can be difficult for the both doctors. Also, the hospital or surgery center fees may be higher for the cosmetic portion as the gynecology procedure is frequently an insured expense while the facility may not  offer cosmetic cash discounts as some do. All in all, combining these procedures is a possibility but all depends on the patient and both doctors' opinion.

Thank you for your question. A mommy makeover is a great procedures to combine with a hysterectomy as they address some of big changes that happen after pregnancy and addresses the concerns with fibroids. It is a bigger procedure and may often require a night in the hospital. I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options in more detail and would recommend combining the procedure as you will only have one recovery.  I would also ensure that your gynecologist and plastic surgeon discuss your specific situation together to ensure that it can be done safely.

Combining these procedures is possible and safe.  However, this will probably mean a hospital stay, which may increase your cost.  Hysterectomies can be done a variety of methods, not necessarily with an incision through the abdomen.  If this is not the case, you may want to consider have the procedures in two separate surgical sessions.

The safety of combination surgeries depends on the patient's health as well as the anticipated duration of the surgery. Ask both surgeons what they recommend for you.Click on the link below to see why the duration of the surgery is an important factor.All the best.
