Combined aesthetic surgery is performed at the same time. These operations can be in the same area or in different places. For example, it can range from the face to the body, or involve different parts of the body. Aesthetic surgery performed simultaneously is called combined surgery.
Why should I choose combined surgery?
If there is no health problem, combined surgery has advantages in a number of ways.
The first is that more than one operation can be performed under one anaesthetic,
The second is the combining of healing periods,
The third is economic: the costs will be lower, as there will be shared costs for operations that are performed at the same time.
A fourth is that achieving the right aesthetic balance will be easier and more successful. For example, combining a tummy tuck with liposuction. Combining a breast lift with a breast reduction or breast augmentation will give more pleasing results. Other examples are aesthetic eyelid correction and a brow lift, a mid-facelift or nose surgery, combined with face and neck rejuvenation procedures.
Are the prices of combined aesthetic procedures more favourable?
The prices of combined aesthetic surgery are lower than those of single aesthetic procedures. The main items of the hospital fee for a cosmetic procedure are the operating theatre fee, the blood tests and the consumables to be used. If, for example, blood tests are done once and two operations are performed, the same price applies. Hospital costs work in the same way: the operating theatre costs will cover more than one operation, so the prices cannot simply be doubled. This results in a more economical price.
What is the most common combined aesthetic procedure?
The most common combined aesthetic procedure varies depending on the area a person needs treated. For example, some women who have been through pregnancy, and mothers who breastfeed, naturally need breast surgery, abdominal surgery, liposuction, aesthetic treatment of the genital area and combinations of procedures such as vaginal tightening. Another combination is for a person who has lost a lot of weight, whether through stomach surgery, diet or sport. Lifting procedures include leg lifts, arm lifts and back lifts. Another combination applies to people with pronounced wear or signs of ageing, for example changes in facial expression: a neck lift, hand rejuvenation and eyelid surgery can be performed at the same time. The combination is determined according to the person's needs. In middle-aged men in particular, procedures such as hair transplant, eyelid surgery, removal of fat in the waist area (six-pack) to show the abdominal muscles, and gynaecomastia surgery can be carried out.
Combined aesthetic treatments
There is no limit on the number of operations if there is no health problem. This can be two operations, four or seven. This of course depends on how large and complex the operations are. At the same time, do not put your body at risk, and do not prolong the healing process. Combined aesthetic surgery is a process that has to be planned specifically for the individual. If there is no health problem, this can also include silicone implants for the breasts, legs or buttocks, or a rhinoplasty... There is no restriction on the surgery itself, but the state of health must be taken into account.
Returning to daily life after the operations!
This applies even to the largest combinations of 5-6 operations. You cannot immediately resume your daily activities after the operations. Recovery time after the operations differs from person to person. Returning to normal daily life takes no longer than 1 week to 10 days.
