Combined Tummy Tuck, Breast Reduction and Liposuction?

If you are healthy and the procedures can be done in under six hours, it is reasonable to combine a breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction of outer thighs. Safety is the first consideration in a case like this. It is always safer to stage the case and do one or more of the procedures at a later time in order to ensure a safe outcome if your surgeon feels the procedure may go longer than planned. You may also need to be admitted overnight to a hospital or aftercare facility for observation and to have sequential devices on your legs to massage your calves which helps prevent blood clot formation.

Thank you for your question.Yes, it is possible to have those procedure at the same time. But first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and  cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Hello! Thank you for your question! These procedures can be effectively and safely performed in one setting. The breasts and tummy tuck are commonly performed together, often referred to as the "mommy makeover". If you are healthy and your surgeon decides that a/he could perform the procedures in a safe time for you, these procedures certainly can be done in one stage. Staging the procedures to have them performed at various times will likely not have any cost benefit for you. When you combine procedures, there is often a discount that is provided by the surgeon for multiple procedures. Also, when having multiple procedures performed at the same time, you save on anesthesia and facility fees, which otherwise are paid for with each individual procedure. In addition, you may benefit by the single recovery time. It is your decision as to whether you have your procedures performed in one or multiple stages, but your surgeon will give his/her recommendations. I would consult with a plastic surgeon well-versed in these procedures and discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what your options are as well as have an examination. Your safety is ultimately the most important factor and is always on the mind of your surgeon when making such decisions. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Yes!  These procedures can be performed together safely. However, your surgeon needs to make that determination after examining you to make sure that you are healthy.

The key issue is making sure that you are safe under anesthesia for the length of time required to complete the procedure. In general, the procedures that you mention, Tummy Tuck, Breast Reduction and Outer Thigh Liposuction can be completed in less than six hours. If you are young and healthy, you should do okay. However, like all patients undergoing surgery, you will need medical clearance to make sure you are an appropriate candidate for surgery. Also, you don't want your surgeon to feel rushed to try in fit many procedures into a short time. If you are a large person, it may take longer to perform the procedure. If you are a small person with just some loose skin in the belly and a little fat on your thighs, then it may be more reasonable. Good luck with your procedure.
