Is it better to stage your mommy makeover in steps or do it all at once?

Undergoing a combination procedure is a bit of a compromise between getting it done all at once with more discomfort and a harder recovery versus two separate procedures. In some instances, complications can be higher in a combined procedure depending on one's general health and the length of the proposed surgery. Although we perform combination surgeries frequently, it is always easier to recover from a single surgery then two.

It is very common to combine the procedures that interest you (breast lift and tummy tuck with liposuction) and assuming you are in good health, it should not be an issue. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss. My best,Dr. Sheila Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Hello, Thank you for your question. Should you be a good candidate, many patients have these surgeries performed at the same time. This often decreases the cost and recovery time. Having them performed separately shouldn't affect your final results. I'd recommend speaking to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine what your best options would be. Take care. 

Thank you for your question, I think you can safely do all procedures at once,consult with a board certified PS.

The final decision is yours of course but routinely these procedures can be performed together safely.  Best wishes.  

I believe in staging these procedures primarily for safety (minimizing risks and complications from being under general anesthesia for prolonged times). Although, performing these procedures in one stage may seem to make sense, it is a tremendous assault on a patient's body making recovery very difficult and prolonged. I hope this helps you make a well informed decision.Best wishes and kind regards,

This really depends on the comfort level of your surgeon. Many surgeons elect to perform all procedures at once, but some prefer to stage their procedures. This typically depends on how quickly the surgeon is able to complete the procedures and the patient's overall health.Discussing your concerns with your plastic surgeon will help you decide how best to proceed.

Thank you for your question.  In short, it depends on several factors.  For example, some surgeons opt to perform these surgeries separately because it is what they are more comfortable with.  Another reason could simply be the preference of the patient.  I routinely perform combined procedures such as the ones you are seeking because it is it removes the need for separate recovery times and transforms the body in one step.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thanks for your inquiry.  It is best you see a plastic surgeon in person to discuss.  I routinely do a breast, tummy , and body liposuction in one procedure.   It really depends on your health and time to recover.  Good Luck

In the majority of my mommy makeover patients, we accomplish multiple procedures at the same time.  This is certainly more convenient than having multiple recovery periods.  At the consultation, we can decide how much is "too much" to do at once, but in most circumstances, I am able to perform everything in one session.  Occasionally, health issues or other concerns prohibit the ability to do this, but this is less common.
