Can a Facelift and tummy tuck be done at the same time?

Thank you for the question.While it is possible to perform a tummy tuck at the same time as the facelift, it is often not advisable.  These two different procedure have two different recovery processes and two different sets of complications that makes it difficult for the patient to deal with.Often we are combining breast work with tummy tucks and/or liposuction, because again, they have similar type of recoveries and complications.A facelift is often combined with fat injection or brow lift and blepheroplasties.Keep in mind that any surgery that takes beyond 6 hours of anesthesia will put the patient at much higher risks for complications.Make sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in what you are looking for.Best Regards Nagi T Ayoub MD, FACS 

No, it would not be a good idea. Both are in depth procedures that require a great deal of surgery time. I don't know of any reputable plastic surgeon who would do both at the same time. It's dangerous. Best, Dr. Nazarian

They can feasibly be performed at the same time however this is a lot of surgery for one setting and I would not recommend it. It is best to see a plastic surgeon for a consultation to determine the extent of each procedure however in general these two surgeries require significant time and there are concerns for safety.
