I've had a consultation with a Canadian plastic surgeon. He states that his incisions are low and straight across for the Tummy Tuck. There are other women who have posted that their incision is higher than expected. Also, we have not discussed the belly button, which seems to be an issue for other gals who have posted on their Tummy Tuck. Maybe I need to ask more questions. He also will be doing Liposuction on my outer thighs and a neck lift. Is this too much surgery for one day?
Answer: Multiple Procedures As long as you are healthy combining those surgeries together should not pose excessive risks. As far as the incisions go for abdominoplasty, I use a slightly curved incision as that allows the removal of more skin and less puckering of the skin than does a straight line. Incisions are ideally placed low so that they are hidden well. The belly button is a crucial step in this surgery and every surgeon has a different way of performing the belly button part. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Multiple procedures at once 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.

Answer: Combination Surgery Safe? Thank you for the question. Combination surgical procedures are done on a routine basis. However, it is best to evaluate each patient on an individualized basis. During this consultation process, after a complete history and physical, the SAFETY of combining these surgical procedures becomes of paramount importance. Factors such as selection of plastic surgeon, exact procedures planned, estimated blood loss, duration of surgery, recovery considerations, anesthesia provider, duration of surgery, surgery facility are all important considerations. Best wishes.

Answer: Safer to have surgeries done on separate days Yes, those are three operations that are probably going to take the surgeon more than five hours to perform and should be probably done separately. There is a higher incidence of having deep venous thrombosis and a blood clot in the leg after these types of procedures related to the time length of the anesthetic and surgery. It is probably a good idea to have those three operations done on separate days.

Answer: Neck lift and lipo is not too much for one day The amount of surgery really depends on the individual patient. However, tummy tuck, lipo and neck lift is generally not too much for one day as long as they keep the surgery less than 6 hours and you are in good health and under the care of competent anesthesiologists and staff. As for the incisions, you need to discuss the operative plan with your surgeon prior to the surgery so you are both on the same page. Good luck with your surgery.
