I am having the following procedures performed • Breast Augmentation • Hi-Def Liposuction + BBL • Adam's Apple shave • Supraorbital Rim bone shaving • Anterior hairline lowering • Temporal Lifting • Cat Eyes I have been told by multiple surgeons it's safe to do so although the recovery will be Hard in the long run it will be better.
Answer: Is it safe to have all of these procedures at once? Hello and thank you for your question. Typically, multiple procedures can be combined, but the goal is to limit general anesthesia time to under 6 hours for safety reasons. I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations for best cosmetic results. I hope this helps. Best, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Multiple surgeries Hello, thank you for your question. We often will bunch together a certain number of surgeries including liposuction and breast augmentation. We do not like to do a BBL on the same day as a breast liposuction or tummy tuck just for healing purposes. Usually with BBLs we tell our patients to avoid sitting on their buttocks for at least 3-4 weeks to preserve as much fat so they sleep on their chest. We usually have a breast augmentation patient sitting upright and sleeping on their backs. Our clinic does not do many facial surgeries so it would be difficult to say if indeed that many surgeries is safe. It also depends on your physical health and personal medical history. It is important to discuss with your plastic surgeon and to ensure that you are physically healthy to undergo surgery.

Answer: Combining procedures Combining procedures is common and considered safe, but there is a limit. When considering elective plastic surgery it is recommended surgical time be limited to 6 hours. Exceeding this time can lead to increased risk and complications. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. It is likely better to break these procedures into stages.

Answer: Multiple surgeries Dear maxwelljameson, 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.
