Advantages and Disadvantages of Combined Plastic Surgery Procedures

Our bodies, and especially our skin, are complex, and in some instances so too is the solution to making us look younger and more vibrant.

As such, there are many common and popular bundles that combine multiple plastic surgery procedures, all tailored to solving a specific need on the part of the patient. Combing procedures this way allows a quicker and more complete renewal, as well as a cheaper cost by streamlining the operations together.

Popular combined procedures include:

• • A Mommy Makeover

These procedures are directed at undoing the impact on a woman’s body of giving birth, and sometimes even to correct unwanted body attributes that existed before pregnancy. Common options included in a mommy makeover are liposuction, a breast lift or breast augmentation and a tummy tuck.

• • Facial Rejuvenation

Our faces are the most unique part of our body, and one that people will remember. To make our look more appealing and youthful, plastic surgeons will often offer a facial rejuvenation package. This will normally include a neck and facelift and also eyelid surgery and a face and brow lift.

• • Chin and nose jobs

Patients who undergo a nose job, also known as rhinoplasty, often combine this procedure with a chin augmentation and also cheek implants. This will restore some balance and proportion to the face.

As with any kind of operation, there are many advantages and a few disadvantages to having combined plastic surgery.

The benefits are clear. They include:

• Getting the results the patient desired much faster, and without any wait time between surgical procedures.
• And, on a related note, combining procedures means less recovery time.
• A lower fee for the procedures because they’re combined and done more efficiently. This means only one surgical facility – and one surgeon – is paid.
• More natural results. Many surgeons think that having a bundle of procedures done all at once is the most effective way of making the improvements look the most natural possible.

Some of the things you may want to consider about bundled operations are:

• Older bodies may have difficulties having several procedures done at once.
• A longer time spent under anesthesia during the multiple operations.

Getting solutions tailored to your specific body – and your beauty goals – is the most important part of combining plastic surgery procedures. We here at Fairview can guide you through the options available to you. Don’t hesitate to call and book an appointment today.
