Combining Surgical Procedures for Your Best Outcomes at Iteld Plastic Surgery

By: Dr. Lawrence Iteld

5/16/2025

When considering plastic surgery, many of my patients opt for multiple procedures at once to achieve their desired aesthetic goals. Combining procedures not only enhances results and provide a more harmonious transformation, but also reduces recovery time and lower costs. This approach takes careful planning and consultation, which is why we work with you to determine what you want to achieve and determining the best combination to reach your goals.

Why combine procedures?  

  • Enhanced Aesthetic Harmony: Combining procedures ensures that different areas of your body or face complement each other, creating a more natural and balanced look. For example, when I pair a facelift with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), your entire face will look more rejuvenated rather than just one area.  
  • Comprehensive Transformation: Many of our patients want significant improvements. By combining treatments, patients can achieve a more dramatic yet natural-looking transformation.  
  • Reduced Recovery Time: When I perform multiple procedures at the same time, you only have a single recovery period rather than separate ones for each surgery. This means you’ll need less time off work and a quicker return to your daily activities. And remember that our Smart Recovery ensures you won’t need opioids for pain you won’t have.  
  • Cost Efficiency: Undergoing multiple surgeries at once often reduces overall costs. Combining procedures can minimize expenses associated with anesthesia, facility fees, and other surgical and related expenses.

Popular procedure combinations

Here are a few popular combination procedures patients want and enjoy their results:

Mommy Makeover/Daddy Do-Over  

  • A mommy makeover varies by patient needs, and usually includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with or without a lift, and liposuction to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy. For some, I include fat transfer to areas where the patient has lost volume.  
  • A daddy do-over helps my male patients regain a toned, more youthful appearance, and may include liposuction, male breast reduction, tummy tucks, and facial rejuvenation.

Breast Procedures  

  • For fuller and perkier breasts, I often combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to achieve optimal results.  
  • Too big? Breast reduction with a lift helps women achieve a more comfortable and attractive silhouette.  
  • Man boobs? Gynecomastia surgery removes excess breast tissue. I often perform this with liposuction or BodyTite to give me male patients a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

Facial Rejuvenation  

  • A common combination is a facelift with a neck lift. For some patients, I also add blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) for a complete facial rejuvenation.  
  • Seeing hollow areas? No problem. Consider adding fat transfer to your facelift to fill in those areas and give you a younger, healthier looking visage.   
  • For patients who have sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, and hooded eyes, I rejuvenate their upper face by combining a brow lift with eyelid surgery, and may even add laser treatments afterwards for skin resurfacing.

Body Contouring  

  • A tummy tuck is very popular among our patients to flatten a sagging belly. When I add liposuction, I can also sculpt and enhance body contours.  
  • The only way I perform a Brazilian Butt Lift is with fat transfer. That means you have options to remove fat from areas where you don’t want it so I can inject it for your BBL.

Considerations before combining procedures  

  • Health and Safety: Not all patients are suitable for multiple surgeries at one time. Our surgical staff will work with you to evaluate your medical history and overall health to ensure safety.  
  • Surgical Time: Multiple procedures may take more time, and you’ll be under general anesthesia for a longer than for a single one. Surgical time becomes an important consideration.  
  • Post-Surgery Care: Recovery may be take longer for multiple surgeries. The recuperation window varies from patient to patient and depends on the procedure. But with our Smart Recovery, you won’t have to worry about pain that doesn’t exist, and you’ll still have a faster, smoother recovery.
