Combined plastic surgeries involve performing two or more aesthetic procedures in a single surgical session. This approach has become increasingly popular among patients who want to optimize results and recovery time, while also reducing hospital and anesthesia costs.
Some of the most common combinations include:
Tummy tuck with liposuction
Breast implants with breast lift (mastopexy)
Liposuction with fat grafting to the buttocks (liposculpture)
Shorter total recovery time, compared to having surgeries separately.
More harmonious results, with better overall body contour.
Cost savings, including hospital stay, anesthesia, and surgical team fees.
The decision to undergo combined surgeries must be carefully evaluated by the plastic surgeon, considering the patient’s health status, total surgical time, and aesthetic goals. Safety is always the top priority.
Each patient is unique, which is why a personal consultation is essential to determine the best surgical plan.
