Multiple Procedures, Multiple Problems?

Some patients request multiple cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures at one time – breast enhancement, liposuction, face lift and more, all at once. There are some procedures that can be done at the same time safely, but in general, the longer an operation, the greater the risk of infectious complications and extra days in the hospital.

The popular Mommy Makeover is a combination of face and body cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures designed to bring your body back to its pre-pregnancy state…and it can be very effective at achieving those results. In your initial consultation, we will discuss all the procedures that will give you the look you want, and how to schedule them for your health and safety.

In a study of nearly 300,000 operations performed at 173 hospitals from 2005 to 2007, the 30-day rate of infectious complications rose by almost 2.5% for every 30 minutes between incision and closing, and ranged from 3.7% for cases lasting up to an hour to 31.4% for cases that took more than 6 hours. I keep all of this in mind as I create a schedule to achieve your most beautiful results without unwanted complications.
