Is it safe to have lasik, rhinoplasty, and tummy tuck and scar removal at same time?

Q:

I'm a healthy 18 year old girl. I will be going to one of Peru's best plastic surgeon that specializes on the face. I have always wanted to fix my deviated septum and the appearance of my nose. But now I'm also thinking of removing a scar that sits right in between my nose and my upper lip. I'm also considering lasik. And..why not go for the tummy tuck. Is this even realistic? How long would it take for me to heal?

A:

 

 May I suggest you stop considering and address only which issues are most important to you. Also, please take some time & look up the risks associated with medical/ surgical tourism (http://plasticsurgery.about.com/u/ua/aftersurgery/badPS_UA.htm). Untoward events, unfavorable outcomes and complications will be difficult to address with your surgeon unless, you live in Peru. Correction, revision or additional medical/ surgical care to take care of such issues will be at your own expense.  Best,
