Thanks for sharing your story.Generally speaking most plastic surgeons are happy to perform 3 body parts in 1 operation with the help of an assistant.Should you want 4 body parts, i.e. breast, body, arms and thigh, then it is a good idea to have 2 plastic surgeons and 1 assistant.This is the safest and most cost effective approach.Dr Phoon and I do these together at East Sydney Private Hospital, here is a video of one we did last year for the show "Changing Faces"

I hope this helps and good luck.

Hi Honey,
Firstly, congratulations on your weight loss. It is a massive effort to lose that kind of weight and real credit to you and your determination. From a medical point of view it is very common for abdominal and breast procedures to be performed at the same. Some people like to call these kind of procedures 'mummy makeovers' and the risks are really not that much worse than having those procedures in isolation.
If you want to have thighs and arms done at the same time then studies have shown that the risks start to go up both with the operative time involved as well as the sheer number of areas being treated. Dr Moradi and myself like to reduce these risks by performing your surgery in a  2 team approach. This way the length of time is dramatically reduced and you also have the benefit of having 2 experienced surgeons looking after you.
As Dr Moradi has stated below you can see a video of us performing this kind of surgery here http://www.changingfacestv.com/episode-3/. We also have multiple patients who have had this kind of journey that have offered to talk to other patients so that you have a patient's perspective on what to expect.

Having 2 surgeons does help significantly but doesn't take away from the fact that it is still a big operation with both minor and major risks.  If you like you can call Christine our patient coordinator to make an appointment on 1300669488 and we can discuss it face to face.
All the best,
Alex 

Hi there. Thanks for posting your question.
The main issues that patients need to realise when having multiple surgeries performed on different parts of their body simultaneously as part of body contouring after massive weight loss is the insult it has on the body and the time been under a general anaesthesia. The more procedures are combined, the greater the time of surgery and, similarly, the greater the degree of blood loss and risks of other potential complications, such as deep vein thrombosis, heart and lung issues, infection, and wound healing problems. Sometimes patients may even need to be admitted into the intensive care unit for the above reasons.
Depending on your general health, it may be advisable to stage your procedures, focusing on the areas that bother you the most. Which operations are performed together will be a clinical decision that your surgeon will have to make after a thorough clinical assessment.
All the very best.
