Total anaesthesia time, blood loss and body surface treated are the three limits that decide — not the patient's schedule.
Most surgeons cap elective combined procedures at around six hours of anaesthesia. Beyond that, the risks of clots, hypothermia and fluid shifts rise disproportionately. A clinic that agrees to eight hours because you only have one week off is prioritising your calendar over your safety.
Tummy tuck with liposuction and breast surgery (mommy makeover); rhinoplasty with eyelid surgery; liposuction with fat transfer. These share positioning and complement each other surgically.
BBL with a full tummy tuck in one session — positioning conflicts and the recovery restrictions are contradictory. Large-volume liposuction with major body lifting. Anything requiring more than two position changes on the table.
How many hours will I be under? How many units of blood loss do you expect? Will I be in an ICU-capable hospital overnight? The answers should be immediate and specific.
Usually yes, because theatre and anaesthesia are shared. Savings should never be the reason to exceed safe operating time.
