Hello. I want to have Tummy tuck, 360 lipo, breast lift and reduction (no implants) and thigh lift. Im 40 yrs old no health conditions and no medications. I Would all this be possible to be done in one surgery? I want to travel to Turkey for the procedures and can only do one trip.
Answer: Not Typically Safe with Thighs All procedures can typically be combined, however I would caution you to combine the thigh lift with other procedures. With tummy tuck, you will want to be as mobile as possible to prevent VTE events (venous thromboembolism). Having a thigh lift at the same time as the other procedures will limit your mobility and predispose you to potentially deadly blood clots. I would save the thigh liposuction and thigh lift for a separate procedure.

Answer: Tummy tuck, 360 lipo, breast reduction and lift and thigh lift Thanks for your question. It is difficult to provide a proper evaluation without pictures. That said, I have performed many combo procedures, but I generally keep it to a maximum of two procedures for optimal results. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with combo procedures and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Surgery I suggest no, especially since you will not be following up with your surgeon. Liposuction will also not be done in the area of the tummy tuck. Leave off the thigh lift for now. I also recommend finding a surgeon in your area who can follow you after surgery and make sure you are healing well.

Answer: Don't combine thigh lift with those Thank you for your question. Assuming that you are otherwise healthy, not overweight, etc. you can absolutely combine the TT, lipo and breast surgery. I think that you are gambling if you try to add the thigh lift. There is too much competition of blood loss, lymphatics, etc and the risk of poor healing is too high. Assuming that you are going to be spending several weeks in Turkey with family/friends and not just going b/c you have heard it is cheaper. Lots of areas that need to heal and being near your surgeon at the beginning is a good thing. Best of Luck!

Answer: Combination of procedures Dear Annemarie20, 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.
