"I am thinking about having a face lift and breast augmentation performed at the same time. Is this safe?"
— Answered by Michel Rouif, MD

The safety of combined procedures depends on a variety of individual patient factors as well as surgeon preference. In my practice, I try to avoid simultaneously performing procedures that are lengthy, may cause increased patient discomfort, and may have an increased risk of certain complications by their association. However, many plastic surgeons do combine a variety of procedures, and this is a matter to be discussed between the surgeon and patient.
