Thus patient can recover from all of them at same time. Go ahead with your Mommy Make over surgery as scheduled (Vasdev Rai, MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)
Tummy-tuck, Breast Aug and Hestorectomy at Once?
I understand the difference of opinion amongst all of us on this topic and it really depends on your surgeons comfort and yours. I personally do them together frequently and have not had a complication.
Most of the time the hysterectomies are done laparoscopic and seem to be less invasive. I would try and make sure though that your Plastic Surgeon works frequently with your GYN. (John J. Corey, MD, Phoenix Plastic Surgeon)
Elective cosmetic surgery and hysterectomy

There is an increased risk of forming deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli (a potentially fatal complication) when combining intraabdominal/GYN procedures and plastic surgery procedures. In addition, abdominoplasty alone carries one of the highest risks for blood clots among common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures.
I would ask your surgeons about this and what precautions will be taken to reduce the risk. It is always safer to stage these procedures, in my opinion, even though many patients have very successfully had combined hysterectomies and body contouring simultaneously. There are things to do to reduce risk, but some of it depends on your specific medical and family history and should be discussed with your doctors. (Michelle Spring, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)

Lot of surgery and anesthesia. Could be done but risks are increased. I would require blood thinner post op to decrease possibility of blood clot and the gyn surgeon may not agree. Best to stage treatment in my opinion. (Donald Nunn, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Hysterectomy and abdominoplasty
Years ago it was very common to combine a tummy tuck with a hysterectomy. Then some articles came out in the medical literature indicating a significant increase in deep blood clots that could be potentially fatal with this combination and many surgeons, myself included will no longer accept that risk for our patients. Cosmetic procedures are elective and is does not make sense to me to do things that raise risk merely for convenience. I would strongly recommend you have the hysterectomy and let your body heal for several months and then get the tummy and breast procedures done. (Ronald V. DeMars, MD, Portland Plastic Surgeon)
Combining hysterectomy with cosmetic procedures
Hysterectomy tummy tuck surgery
I personally would not perform an abdominoplasty at the same time as a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy can result in bleeding and, since I am a basically bloodless surgeon, I would not want to assume the risks inherent in someone else’s procedure and compromise the result of my operation. Obviously, having said this, I would not combine the hysterectomy with a breast augmentation as well. (Robert L. Kraft, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Hysterectomy?
The answer to your question comes down to a judgment call. The doctors involved need to make a judgment after getting to know you, your goals, and their own abilities whether this combination of surgery will be “safe”. Personally, given my own life experience, I would rather not be involved with this combination surgery (as a plastic surgeon).
For me, this is a judgment call that is easy to make; I would rather be in control of the complexity and potential complications of the procedure which is purely elective. Having said that other surgeons ( including yours) may feel differently and may very well accomplish your goals safely. Ultimately, it will come down to your intuition, common sense and/or judgment. (Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS, San Diego Plastic Surgeon)
