Plastic surgery : is it possible to combine two or more operations ?

Le 9 février 2023

This question is one of the most frequently asked questions by patients : Can I have multiple plastic surgeries at the same time ?

In the case of multiple plastic operations, both open and closed techniques can be used. Prior to the operation, the patient’s general health is examined in detail. The duration of the operation is planned so as not to affect the patient’s general health.

However, it is impotant to note that this will be possible only if the surgeon gives his/her consent according to the patient’s case and needs.

Several types of cosmetic operations

Based on the needs and requests of the patients, breast augmentation can be associated with breast lift, as well as abdominoplasty which is known as tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction for optimal results. Arm lifts and cosmetic breast surgeries can also be combined.

In general, facial cosmetic surgeries, facelift, blepharoplasty, brow lift and forehead rejuvenation can be performed together.

Cosmetic surgery of the jaw can be performed with rhinoplasty. Body shaping and stretching operations can be realized together…

Benefits of multiple plastic procedures

Multiple plastic surgeries save the person time. He/she does not have to go through different healing processes.

It allows the results of cosmetic operations to be more clearly seen. For example, the shape of the nose particularly affects the appearance of the chin in profile. Therefore, if the aesthetic problem of the nose is eliminated and the shape of the jaw is corrected, the results of both operations are even more highlighted.

The other advantage is that only one anaesthesia is performed instead of several.

The possibility of combining operations will depend on the experience of the surgeon, the opinion of the anaesthesiologists and the patient’s condition.
