Q:

I am a very healthy 43 year old female and want to have my nose done, a chin implant and breast implants. Is it possible and advisable to have all three done at the same time?

A:

I recently performed this combination of surgical procedures on one of my patients. The surgeries were performed in a fully accredited surgery center and took approximately 2 ½ hours. During surgery the appropriate preventive measures were taken to minimize the risk of blood clots. The patient faired very well. There were no post-surgical problems. I see no problem performing multiple surgical procedures at the same time as long as the surgeries do not take too long. A thorough preoperative evaluation is needed prior to undertaking any surgery of this nature. A medical clearance from your private physician as well as the appropriate blood work would be required before performance of this surgery.
