Tummy Tuck In Columbus Ohio - Is it possible to have other procedures performed at the same time as a tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck surgeries are some of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the world and are often combined with other surgeries, both cosmetic and medically indicated. As it is unwise to have children after having a tummy tuck, it is not uncommon for women to have their tubes tied at the same time as an abdominoplasty. A hysterectomy or removal of an ovarian cyst can also be performed with a tummy tuck but may require hospitalization over night.

Much more commonly, tummy tucks are performed simultaneously with other aesthetic surgeries. Combining more than one cosmetic procedure helps to reduce anesthesia and facility costs and it is not uncommon for surgeons to discount second and third surgeries performed at the same setting. Most patients also appreciate going through one recovery rather than two or three.

The most common cosmetic surgeries performed at the same time as a tummy tuck include breast lifts, breast augmentation, liposuction of the hips, back or thighs, arm lifts and thigh lifts. Combining more than one body-contouring cosmetic surgery is now commonly referred to as a ‘mommy make-over’ due to the fact that many women undergo these procedures to repair the consequences of pregnancy on their figures.

It is very important to make sure that you are in good enough condition to undergo more than one surgery at the same time. Most if not all excess weight should be lost before surgery and any medical conditions should be thoroughly evaluated by you internist ahead of time. Patients who have undergone weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass or banding are prone to certain nutritional deficiencies which must be corrected well in advance of surgery. Vitamin supplements and a high protein diet are encouraged in this group of patients when having post-bariatric cosmetic surgery.
