Multiple Procedures

First doctor I went to see recommended Tummy Tuck, lipo of abdomen, flank, hips & thighs, and breast implants...he claims he could do all at once.

Second doctor agreed that all of those needed to be done but would only combine tummy tuck w/lipo of flank & hips in addition to breast implants. Would not do thighs at the same time. Said in the state of Florida there were limits of how much could be done at the same time.

Any advice or info you could provide would be great.

Thanks.

The least amount of times you undergo anesthesia, the better. However, I would agree that you might want to hold off on lipo of the thighs. The tummy tuck, stomach/ flank lipo, and breast augmentation are all procedures that will be done on the trunk of your body and they are commonly performed together. The recovery from these alone will not be an easy one (uncomfortable). If it was me, and my core was out of commission, I would want my limbs to be free of discomfort and in working order.

Couldnt agree more. I had this done and held off on the thigh lipo, I can´t imagine what would have happened if I had had the thighs done too, I think I would have really struggled in recovery. Ouch!
