Ok so I know these two procedures are difficult due to recovery time. However two in one for me is cheaper as well as convenient (due to time off work, kids, etc). I would like to know if any dr's performed these two surgeries at one, HOW DID YOUR PATIENTS MANAGE? Such as sleeping? Did they use a recliner? pillows? Was there any major complications because of this? Anyone that had these done, feel free to comment! : )
Answer: Breast reduction and fat grafting to the buttocks can be done at one time. There's no reason these two procedures cannot be done at one time if you are in good health. The logistics of postoperative comfort are really not that complex.

Answer: Multiple procedures. Some advices: Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for Breast reduction + Lipo and BBL at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI and no history of diseases that increase the surgical / anesthetic risk degree.Finally, I recommend you a skilled certified plastic surgeon in body contouring surgery and experienced in cases like yours where the planned operating time is less than five hours.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Combination surgery You can absolutely have multiple procedures at the same time as long as it is completed within an appropriate amount of time. In my practice, there are 2 board certified plastic surgeons who work together as a team decreasing anesthesia time, operating time which leads to a quicker recovery time and happy patients. We perform combination procedures every day because we make it safe!

Answer: Combined Breast and Buttocl Procedures Thank you very much for your question. Combined procedures are quite common and a convenient way to minimize costs and recovery. As long as you are healthy without any medical problem, close to your ideal weight and understand the process, it can be done quite safely. It is possible to get a breast reduction and fat transfer to the hips and buttocks together. The breast reduction recovery will likely be the easiest of the two. Usually when these procedures are combined we ask patients to change positions frequently and try to lay on their side for the first couple of weeks. Sitting on pillows on the thighs also helps to keep the pressure off the buttocks. While this is what is generally recommended, there is little to no data in the research literature to support this recommendation, it just makes practical sense to us. Hope this information helps! All the best!

Answer: Can I get breast reduction, fat transfer to hips and maybe butt all in one procedure? Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, combination surgical procedures are done routinely. However, you are wise in being concerned about the safety of combination surgery; risks/possible complications do increase with increased length of surgery…
