Should You Combine Plastic Surgery Procedures?

It is not uncommon when people come in for their initial plastic surgery consultation with Dr. McLean for them to express their concerns for multiple areas of their body or face. Procedures like mommy makeover surgery and facial rejuvenation are designed to address these concerns by combining multiple treatments into a single procedure.

The Benefits of Combining Plastic Surgery Procedures

It may surprise you to learn that there are multiple benefits when combining plastic surgery procedures.

Health Benefits

It is completely safe to combine plastic surgery procedures. In fact, there might even be some health benefits in doing so. You will be able to avoid separate operations to correct the concerns that you are having, which means that you will only have to recover once. This can be extremely beneficial to your health as with any kind of surgery, cosmetic procedures can be incredibly taxing on your body and even mind.

Monetary Benefits

Additionally, there are also monetary benefits to combining multiple cosmetic procedures. When you undergo elective plastic surgery, there are facility and anesthesia costs involved that you have to pay for. You will also have to take time off from work, which can mean that you do not have an income for the duration of your recovery. Combining surgeries can ensure that you are cutting down costs and saving yourself some money that would come with multiple operations.

What Plastic Surgery Procedures Are Typically Combined?

You can combine a wide variety of plastic surgery procedures, especially if they are targeting the same part of your body. Some of the most common plastic surgery procedures that can be combined are as follows:

Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift

One of the most popular combinations of plastic surgery procedures includes breast augmentation with breast lift surgery. These two procedures can be performed at the same time in order to restore a more youthful look to your breasts. Breast augmentation or reduction will adjust the shape and size of your breasts. A breast lift will remove any excess skin while also tightening the skin surrounding the breasts. This will result in a perkier and fuller appearance overall.

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

Another extremely common combination of procedures is liposuction mixed with abdominoplasty, better known as a tummy tuck. This particular combination of body procedures can have incredible results, as liposuction will eliminate unwanted fat and the tummy tuck will get rid of undesired loose, hanging skin. These two procedures will ensure that you have a leaner, more toned figure.

Additionally, these body plastic surgery procedures can be combined with breast augmentation and breast lift for overall body restoration. This process is well known as a ‘mommy makeover’ for anyone who wishes to achieve their pre-baby body after pregnancy and birth.

Anti-Aging Facial Procedures

Finally, we will discuss what facial procedures are often combined in order to provide individuals with a younger, refreshed appearance. The goal is generally to reduce the look of and smooth fine lines and wrinkles while addressing features such as the nose or eyes at the same time. This can be achieved through blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty, fillers such as Botox, as well as a facelift. All of these procedures can help to target signs of aging such as drooping skin and wrinkles. Combining some of these procedures will provide you with a more balanced end result.

Good Candidates for Combining Plastic Surgery

For any type of cosmetic surgery, whether you are combining procedures or not, you have to be in an overall good state of health. Typically, your plastic surgeon will conduct a thorough examination and ask you questions in order to determine if you are in good health. Your safety will always be the top priority of your surgeon.
