Multiple Cosmetic Surgery Procedures In One - A Good Idea?

You might be surprised to know that these days more and more people are going for multiple cosmetic surgery procedures all at once. Just hearing about this type of thing when it comes to cosmetic surgery can indeed be daunting. However, there are reasons why it's becoming common.

The Advantages

If you're thinking about having multiple cosmetic surgery procedures done, it is for one economical. For instance, since you're having surgery only once, you pay for the facility fees only once. Not only that, you will only have one recovery period. There are no long waits in between to reach your ultimate goals. The results will be "instant." This is probably the best known reason why so many people go for multiple surgeries at one time.

Safety Concerns

Having multiple surgeries is considered fairly safe. Conventional surgical thinking used to consider the view that prolonged anesthesia could raise risks. However, concrete data was never presented. When the notion was put to the test, the findings were remarkable - it's been found that there's no statistically considerable rise in minor or major complications following extreme plastic surgery.

Time Concerns

One would naturally think that multiple plastic surgeries would take much longer. However, some practices have more than one surgeon working together on one patient, thus cutting down on the amount of time needed to complete all procedures. The patient in this case will also likely spend less time under general anesthesia.

Tips

Yes, multiple surgeries can be safe, fast, and economical, but are you ready for all the procedures? Some people think about whether they want something done for months to even years, then decide not to go through with it. Some decide overnight and regret they had surgery at all. Just remember you'll be having more than one part of your body done, and results will be permanent unless you want to go through correction surgery.

In connection to your readiness for multiple surgeries, this is also why you need a very good surgeon, one you can trust. If the surgeon is known to be unreliable, you could end up with very bad results, and not only that, you'll end up with very bad results on different parts of your body!

Finally, just be sensible with your decision. Research on each type of cosmetic surgery you want done.. If for instance you decide to get a tummy tuck, be aware you'll have to depend on your arms more, so getting brachioplasty at the same time would not be such a good idea. A good surgeon will be able to discuss with you thoroughly which route would be the best to take.
