Have you ever wondered if you can combine multiple cosmetic surgeries in one treatment?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, cosmetic procedures such as a facelift, breast augmentation, or liposuction, are safe and effective ways of improving your physical appearance.
But there are also many more possible benefits of such procedures, including:
- increased self-confidence;
- improved physical health;
- enhanced mental health;
- higher quality of life.
Can I Have Multiple Cosmetic Surgeries at the Same Time?
One of the questions that we are most frequently asked at our Kelowna private hospital is: "Can multiple cosmetic surgery procedures be performed in one single operation?"
While the quick answer is YES, in reality, things are a little more nuanced. It’s imperative that all safety concerns be addressed sufficiently beforehand, and multiple procedures should only happen when combining the procedures is the best option for the patient.
Some important considerations include:
- the overall health of the patient;
- the location of the procedures;
- the surgeon's qualifications;
- the length of time the patient would need to be asleep.
REMEMBER: Safety, rather than the number of procedures, or a dramatic result, should ALWAYS be your number one concern.
Popular Combination Plastic Surgeries
Cosmetic surgeons have seen a rapidly increasing demand for certain combinations of different procedures. Technological advances have made it possible to carry these out while maintaining the highest level of patient safety.
Commonly Requested Surgical Combinations

Benefits of Having Multiple Cosmetic Surgeries Simultaneously
When performed in a state-of-the-art facility, such as our Kelowna private hospital, and by a board-certified plastic surgeon, there are several advantages of having multiple surgical procedures performed at the same time.
Fewer recovery periods: One of the most obvious benefits of having more than one cosmetic procedure in a single sitting is that it saves time. Multiple surgeries would require numerous recovery periods, which means taking extra time off work and a multitude of consultations with your plastic surgeon.
A lower cost: Undergoing multiple surgeries at once requires a single anaesthetist, one consultation, and one hospital bed, and you could see the cost of your surgical procedure drop slightly as a result.
Lower risk (in some cases): Since many surgical procedures require general anaesthesia, which always involves risks, going under just once may be considered ‘safer’. At the same time, it is important to think about the fact that the anaesthesia will have to last longer, which can also be risky. A consultation at our Kelowna private hospital can help patients understand which option is best for them.
CONSIDER THIS
It’s important to remember that if you desire multiple plastic surgery procedures, you should also keep in mind WHERE on your body your surgeon will be operating. A facelift, for example, can be easily combined with a nose job. Likewise, liposuction and tummy tuck procedures could be combined since they’re on the same area of the body.
On the other hand, a breast augmentation with a buttock lift may not be the best idea since moving a patient during surgery could cause serious complications. Mobility during such a procedure could also be difficult.
