subject: Can I Get Liposuction In More Than One Place At Once? [print this page] There seems to be a trend surfacing to have a few cosmetic surgeries in one sitting. This could include liposuction and other procedures or liposuction in more than one area of the body. There has been a high debate about whether this surgical trend is safe or not. Of course, it is remarkably expensive to have more than one procedure at once but putting the price aside, there are some definite risks with any surgery that are only increased when doubling up on procedures.
Firstly, the cost of liposuction and other cosmetic procedures really is rather high. There are plenty of ways to speak to your surgeon and coordinate a type of payment plan or some other type of funding assistance but since cosmetic surgery is more than likely not covered by any insurance in your area, the price will be your sole responsibility. Understanding this will bring the right perspective when you consider having more than one surgery done at the same time. If you can afford it, it is something worth considering however if you know you will barely be able to afford one procedure, considering the option of having more than one surgery done at the same time, though convenient as it could be, is certainly not for you.
Having liposuction done on more than one area of your body at the same time can be rather risky--perhaps riskier than having liposuction and a nose job done at the same time. Most doctors will refuse to remove more than about six pounds of fat in one sitting because once more fat than this is removed, the body has a much more difficult time responding well and healing after the surgery. The more fat you have removed in one sitting, the longer it will take you to recover and return to your normal everyday routine afterwards and so it is easy to see that having more than one lipoplastic surgery performed at the same time could be a less-than-desirable option.
Other than the cost and the possible risk when it comes to having liposuction performed in more than one area, having more than one cosmetic procedure done in one sitting can be alright. Visit with your doctor or doctors if there will be more than one present for the surgery. See what they have to say and if your two or more procedures are considered safe. Always, whenever it comes to surgery, your safety and health are the top priorities for you and your healthcare.
