Скачать или смотреть Can multiple plastic surgeries be done at the same time? Shapiro Plastic Surgery

People of all ages and all backgrounds turn to plastic surgery. People often ask, independent of their age, how much plastic surgery can be performed at once? How much is too much? This is a common question. In 2007, 42% of all cosmetic surgery patients in the U.S. had two or more procedure performed at once, up from 34% in 2004. There are several reasons patients may consider multiple procedures, including needing several procedures to achieve the desired results, reducing total surgery time by combining plastic surgeries and saving money.

According to Dr. Shapiro, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Scottsdale, Arizona, plastic surgery is still surgery and it comes with risks. Dr. Shapiro strives to make the experience as safe and pleasant as possible. He will often give patients information they do not want to hear, particularly that they want to do too much at once.

Dr. Shapiro decides the requested procedures are too much by considering the patient's physiological age and health. Patients with diabetes or heart disease, for example, need a more conservative plan of action. Dr. Shapiro also likes to get medical clearance from the doctor of patients who have medical conditions.

Dr. Shapiro also typically gives a cut-off time for surgical procedures at six to eight hours and does not like to go much beyond this. Dr. Shapiro also prefers to stay within the same section of the body at once for improved safety and an easier recovery. For example, a mommy makeover can combine breast augmentation with a breast lift and a tummy tuck, or a facelift may be combined with a browlift and neck lift.

So how much is too much? This varies by the individual, but it should be discussed with the plastic surgeon. A general guideline is staying within the same area and keeping surgery time to under 8 hours. If you want to get a long list of procedures done, you may need to settle for waiting until you recover to get more done.

Pros and Cons of Combining Multiple Plastic Surgeries
Plastic surgery costs take into account anesthesia, facility fees and the surgeon's fees. When procedures are combined into a single surgical session, you are typically billed for just one anesthesia fee and one facility fee, and the plastic surgeon may offer a discounted rate as well.

On the downside, the cumulative effect of multiple procedures must be taken into consideration, as it increases the risk of complications, including a greater risk for cardiovascular complications while spending more time under general anesthesia and a longer recovery.

If you are thinking about combining plastic surgeries, make sure you consult with a Board Certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing multiple procedures to develop a customized plan. Keep in mind you may need to get each surgery separately if you have a medical condition like high blood pressure or diabetes.
