Can Multiple Surgeries Be Done Simultaneously

Combining plastic surgeries is an avenue that many prospective patients look towards as an alternative to having their surgeries spread out and done at different points in the month or year. The potential of having your recovery and surgeries all done at once is a tempting one, but can it be done? Dr. Zoran Potparic, the experienced and trusted provider of plastic surgery in Fort Lauderdale, looks to answer the question here! With over thirty years of experience in providing all types of cosmetic surgery in Fort Lauderdale, his team has the expertise necessary to clear up any remaining questions regarding getting multiple surgeries at once. 

Can You Get Two Cosmetic Surgeries at Once?

When considering the possibility of multiple surgeries, it is important to note it can be done. A doctor would recommend that these procedures are done at separate times, as having multiple plastic surgeries at the same time can take its toll on the body more than doing them one at a time would. Of course, it is up to you and if you choose to have multiple surgeries at the same time there are some general tips to follow.

Try not to have too many at one time, your immune system may not be up to the challenge, and recovery after multiple surgeries can be harder on the body from person to person. The general rule of thumb for how many plastic surgeries can be done at once would be no more than three, preferably two, of these procedures done at the same time. Also, understand what plastic surgeries can be combined to minimize the possibility of a harder recovery.

What Plastic Surgeries Can Be Combined?

There are several cases where multiple surgeries are more recommended than others. The general rule to follow is that you’ll want to keep these surgeries in the same general area to encourage recovery at a normal rate rather than a delayed one. Tummy Tucks and Liposuction procedures are perfectly fine to perform at the same time whereas having a breast reduction at the same time as rhinoplasty is not recommended by most doctors. Having these procedures in such drastically different areas will slow recovery as the body will be forced to deal with two areas to repair as opposed to just one. The best way to ensure that your multiple surgeries go to plan is to have them done with a reliable team of experts.
