I want to have two procedures. Breast augmentation / lift and rhinoplasty. My doctor said I can do both at the same day and I can save money. I will be under general anesthesia for 5 hours. What is better for health to do one surgery for 2.5 hours then after few months do another surgery for 2.5 hours or do one big surgery for 5 hours? I am asking what is the best for the health not for saving money.

Answer: Multiple simultaneous surgeries Providing that you are in a good health, there is no problem with surgery lasting up to 5 hours. If your surgeon is experienced in both procedure (which is not always the case), my advise would be to do it all together. Good luck.

Answer: Combination of procedures Dear Anon485745, 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.
