Multiple procedures

Question: I am well on my way to achieving my goal weight, and at that point will have lost more than 60kg. At that point I am hoping to undergo bariatric body contouring of the stomach, arms and leg areas, breast augmentation and labiaplasty. Is it possible to undergo all procedures at the same time and if so what would the cost and recovery time be?

Answer: Combining surgical procedures in one operation is possible but as the list gets longer so does the time under anaesthetic, the blood loss, and stress of surgery on your body.

The list you give is extensive and the safety of the patient is the priority. I would suggest that addressing the surgeries in two sittings would be a better option — perhaps addressing the upper body, and then the lower body after a number of months of recovery. Remember that safety is the most important consideration.
