What is Combined Surgery?
Combined surgeries involve performing two or more aesthetic procedures within a single surgical session. This method offers advantages in terms of both time efficiency and recovery, and is often preferred when multiple compatible operations can be done under general anesthesia.
Modern cosmetic surgery is not just about improving appearance; it also aims to enhance comfort and quality of life. Thanks to combined operations, patients can undergo a full transformation in a single recovery period instead of spreading surgeries over several months.

Advantages of Combined Aesthetic Surgeries
Time Efficiency
Performing multiple procedures in one session eliminates the need for separate surgical plans, saving both time and effort.
Single Recovery Process
Recovery after surgery can be challenging. With combined operations, patients go through a single recovery period for all procedures.
Harmonized Aesthetic Results
For example, combining breast augmentation with a tummy tuck helps shape the body as a whole, resulting in more balanced and natural-looking outcomes.
Commonly Combined Procedures
When planning combined surgeries, the procedures must be compatible and suitable for the patient’s health condition. Commonly combined surgeries include:
-
Breast Augmentation + Tummy Tuck (Mommy Makeover)
Often chosen to restore the body after pregnancy.
-
Liposuction + Arm or Thigh Lift
Fat removal and body tightening in a single session.
-
Facelift + Eyelid Surgery
Targets signs of aging across the face in one go.
-
Rhinoplasty + Chin Surgery (Profiloplasty)
Creates facial harmony by balancing the profile.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Combined aesthetic surgeries may not be suitable for everyone. To be eligible:
-
The patient should be in overall good health
-
No conditions that contraindicate general anesthesia
-
The chosen procedures must be compatible
A personalized surgical plan should be created based on a thorough evaluation.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgery, combined operations carry certain risks. Longer surgical times require more attention during the recovery process. Therefore:
-
Work with an experienced plastic surgeon
-
Ensure proper surgical planning
-
Follow post-operative care instructions diligently
Conclusion: Greater Change in Less Time
Combined cosmetic surgeries offer a practical and effective solution for suitable patients. When planned correctly and performed by skilled hands, they provide satisfying results both physically and emotionally.
