Can other procedures be done at the same time as a mini tummy tuck? i am worried about anesthesia, but i want to have a couple of other procedures as well as a mini tummy tuck. can they all be done at once?

Probably : Probably but it will depend on what other procedure need to be done.

The : The short answer is yes, you can combine other procedures depending on what those other procedures are. Combining breast surgery or liposuction is very commonly done. It truly comes down to the surgical time under anesthesia, and skill of the surgeon. You need to speak to your surgeon. Best of luck to you.

Possible: It depends what procedure. You could have breast surgery, brachioplasty or facelift but buttock augmentation is not recommended.

Often: Generally, it is possible to have several procedures performed at the same time; whether or not these procedures should be performed at the same time is a decision that should be made based on safety considerations. For example, concerns such as duration of surgery, blood loss, medical condition, risks/complications etc. Are taken into consideration. Anesthesia/surgery center facilty also key.

Talk to MD: This is something that you may want to talk to your plastic surgeon about. They may have some specific concerns with regards to bleeding, infection, location and so forth. Your anesthesiologist will not mind if the surgeon does one or multiple procedures in one anesthetic.

Common: It's common to combine procedures, especially in the "mommy makeover". For example, liposuction or breast augmentation are common operations that may be performed at the same time.
