If I need a tummy tuck and also want a traditional butt lift (not a BBL) and I also want a breast felt (not implants), will this be 3 separate surgeries? Or can some of them be combined?
Answer: Is It Better to Combine Breast Augmentation with Tummy Tuck and Lipo—or Separate Them? Some of these procedures can be safely combined, depending on your health, anatomy, and surgical goals. A tummy tuck and breast lift are often performed together. A traditional butt lift (which involves skin excision, not fat transfer) may be done in a separate stage, especially if combining all three would exceed safe operative time. An assessessment with a surgeon will tell what can be safely combined while minimizing risks and optimizing results. Erman AK, Dr. MD, Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon

Answer: Combination of procedures Dear Intellectual25050, 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.

Answer: Multiple procedures Thank you for your inquiry! I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself to create a surgical plan targeted towards your specific goals. A consult would allow us to hear your goals and make sure you're a great candidate for these surgical procedures. Each plastic surgeon varies in the amount of time allowed in the OR for one surgery. It's important to prioritize safety for any elective surgery.

Answer: Surgery combination In mi practice, your safety and well being comes first. I will need to consider the amount of skin that needs to be removed and your blood work in order to determine if it;s possible and safe to proceed with 3 procedures on the same surgery.

Answer: Safe operation time is 6 hours The safe operation time for cosmetic surgery is 6 hours. All 3 procedures cannot be done at the same time. I routinely do the breast lift and tummy tuck at the same time. This combination usually takes 6 hours. I would then suggest you wait at 1-6 months before undergoing a butt lift. The butt lift is I perform uses the excess skin and fat to make a flap, which is turned in to create more buttocks projection. This has an advantage over the Brazilian butt lift in it is not dependent on fat as internal support. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
