Hello, I ahave been receiving knee treatments for the past 3 years and the knee has deteriorated to the point I need a full-linereplacement However, I had plan on getting a mommy makeover been planning this for over 10 years now but has to always get other surgeries done and then there were a waiting period of 6/12 months. My question is it best to get the makeover done first and knee replacement after, I feel it ill be more difficult having the replacement done first. I am 47 years old

Answer: TKR and Mommy Makeover Without a full insight into your medical history and photos, it is difficult to say. If you are unable to walk or perform activities of daily living, I recommend getting the knee replacement done prior to any cosmetic procedures. The inability to do these tasks will make the healing process for a mommy makeover much more strenuous and bring you discomfort. I recommend talking to a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.

Answer: Order of surgery Thanks for your inquiry, I believe you could do it in either order as long as you are able to properly ambulate after the mommy makeover and separate the procedures by close to six months to reduce risk of blood clots, best of luck.

Answer: Is it best to get TKR before mommy makeover? Hello @Neat152828, thank you for your question. The order of surgeries depends on the urgency of the functional surgery. If you can wait without this intervening in any aspect of your health, it would be ideal to perform first the one with the shortest recovery time, which is the aesthetic surgery. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
