MULTIPLE procedures- can they be done safely during two procedures?

Mommy makeovers involve various combinations of procedures to improve the breasts, abdomen, hips, back, arms, legs, buttocks, etc, after childbirth.

Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands. The surgeon HAS to be an expert in EACH procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures, and can minimize the operative time. For example, we work in a team and would take around 4-5 hours for the complete operation. This allows us to get better results with less surgical time and less trauma. Our patients are typically walking the same day and tapering off of pain medications by 4-5 days. Within a week, our international patients are generally touring around Cartagena, enjoying the sites of this UNESCO World Heritage City. Patients progress to unrestricted activities by 2 months, just as the final results are settling in.

Combination procedures can give powerful results, but SAFETY is KEY. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Combining procedures is common and considered safe within limits. An exam is needed to know for sure but you may be able to have a breast lift and augmentation combined with a circumferential tummy tuck. This type of tummy tuck could potentially incorporate a mons lift and lift the buttocks. You may be able to have a labiaplasty done in an office surgical procedure separately.
