COMBINATION AESTHETIC SURGERY

In some patients 2 or more cosmetic surgeries are combined. This is called combination surgery.

As you are combining 2 or more cosmetic surgeries in one operation there will be considerable cost saving. Also the recovery time is almost similar in single and and in combination surgery. So if you do several cosmetic surgery as single separate surgery the recovery time will get prolonged.

If you are in good general health and not grossly overweight then combination surgery can be suitable for you. Final decision is after discussion with your doctor.

Mommy makeover is the commonest combination surgery. It involves combining tummy tuck with breast lift or enhancement. Other combination surgeries are tummy tuck+liposuction of lower body, Lower body lift+thigh lift, Breast lift+ chest lift +arm lift etc.

You will be put to sleep (general anaesthesia) for combination surgery.

Safety of any surgery is related to your health status rather than your age. If you are in good general health and not grossly overweight then combination surgery can be carried out safely.

Hospital stay is approximately 2-3 days. Pain will be controlled by painkillers. Walking is allowed within 24 hours and light work can be carried out within a week’s time. Heavy exercise is generally after 4 to 6 weeks.

Combination surgery can give you more comprehensive makeover in one go compared to individual surgery carried out over several months. Majority of the patients are happy with the outcome.
