I’m considering getting Rhinoplasty (just tip work), Breast implants, an inner thigh lift and Liposuction to the flanks/mid-section. I’d like to save cost and do them all at once. Is this safe and/or possible? I’m a young, healthy woman in my mid 20’s. I have lost weight in the past and have flabby skin on my thighs and deflated breasts that can’t be remedied through exercise.

A. Length of surgery and the type of cases to be combined need to be considered.

In your case, the thigh lift has the highest morbidity in relation to DVT. Combination with liposuction slightly increases that risk. Nose surgery adds to the time. My guess is the entire case would take near 5 hours.

My advice would be to take one of the procedures off the table for now. Maybe do the liposuction another time. If you decide to combine, you will need to stay in a nursing overnight recovery center.
