I have found a place in Mexico that does Tummy tuck, lipo of the back, arms, stomach, along with muscle repair and a bbl and breast lift all in the same procedure I am wondering if this is safe

Answer: Thoughts on destination surgery Hi neicyd2011, Surgery of the tummy, back, arms, buttocks and breasts concurrently is a lot of surgery--I have never done this combination, because I would envision it taking 8-10 hours or more to do well, and that is longer than I believe is safe for elective aesthetic surgery. There is a balance between single surgery/single recovery/patient convenience and safety that you should strongly consider. If you are considering destination surgery, I would also consider who will manage your post-operative followup and any potential complications. I always worry about destination surgery practices where you consult online, meet your surgeon the day of surgery, and then fly home a week later. There is no continuity, no followup, and no ability to manage post-operative questions or issues. I occasionally get calls from the ER with patients who returned from destination surgery and have problems, and have no one to turn to. Your local surgeons in Miami will probably be very hesitant to manage another surgeon's complications. Hope this helps.

Answer: Is a tummy tuck, breast lift, muscle repair, lipo 360 & BBL at the same time safe? Thank you for sharing your question. For most surgeons this amount of work would exceed the amount of time recommended for surgery and I would recommend staging the procedures with the liposuction 360 and BBL done in the first, and the remaining procedures in a second.
