Full Tummy tuck, breast implants and lipo to thighs, love handles and bra area - can these be done all at the same time?

Yes, it's possible to combine a full tummy tuck, breast implants, and liposuction to multiple areas (such as thighs, love handles, and the bra area) into a single surgical session. This combination of procedures is often referred to as a "Mommy Makeover" when performed together to address multiple areas affected by pregnancy or weight changes.

Combining procedures can have several benefits:

Consolidated Recovery Time: Undergoing multiple procedures simultaneously means you'll have one recovery period instead of separate ones for each surgery.

Cost and Efficiency: Combining surgeries might reduce overall costs compared to having each procedure separately. It also saves time by having everything done in one operation.

Overall Transformation: Addressing multiple areas in one surgery allows for a more comprehensive transformation, offering improved body contouring and aesthetic results.

However, there are considerations to keep in mind:

Surgical Time: Longer surgeries can increase the risks associated with anesthesia and the surgical procedure itself. Your surgeon will consider the optimal duration for your safety.

Recovery: Combining procedures might lead to a more extended initial recovery period compared to having just one surgery. It's essential to follow post-operative instructions diligently for optimal healing.

Individual Suitability: Not everyone is a candidate for all procedures simultaneously. Your surgeon will evaluate your health, anatomy, and the extent of each procedure to determine the best approach for you.

Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, assess your candidacy for combined procedures, and understand the potential risks and benefits specific to your case. Their expertise will guide you in making informed decisions about your desired transformations and the safest way to achieve them.

When performing multiple operations commonly known as mummy makeover, the limiting factor is the anaesthetic time. Generally the operation you are looking for can be done in the same sitting. Patients prefer as it is one anaesthetic and one recovery. Please see your plastic surgeon who will review these n light of your other health condition to advice you on your suitability for these procedures to be done in one sitting.

Hi & thanks for your question!
These procedures can be done at the same time. Recovery time differs with each patient. What is nice about having everything done at once is that you only have one recovery. Any questions or concerns contact your surgeon . Best wishes!

This is a fairly standard compilation of procedures to be done at once. When I do this much, I have my patients stay overnight at the surgery center for better monitoring.

Yes, these procedures can be combined and performed together. Your full recovery will take 6-8 weeks, however most patients are able to be independent after 3 weeks. The tummy tuck requires the longest recovery. If you are concerned about your aftercare, sometimes a surgery center can arrange for you to stay overnight with a nurse. I would contact your surgeons office and see if an overnight stay would be possible for you.
