Those certainly can be performed at the same time on a healthy person.

Yes, usually. Sometimes it’s not a safe way to go. Come for a consult, and we’ll go over everything.

Implant removal and masopexy (lift) are commonly performed together and may take 2-3 hours. Arm pit liposuction might add another 30-60 minutes. Certainly all 3 procedures can be performed during the same surgery.

Yes. All three are commonly performed together. I recommend that you make an appointment to see a board-certified plastic surgeon and he will explain to you all of your options.

Without knowing the complete history, and physical examination, and review of the operative notes it is difficult to to make a meaningful advice.

Type of implant, position of implant and the surgical procedure done and how old the implants, does it need a capsulectomy??

In general and under optimal conditions, all the above procedures can be done in one session, under optimal conditions.

Best to work with the original surgeon because they know what was done and the chances of success.

Thank you for sharing your question. In most cases yes all of these procedures can be done in a single operation. Hope this helps.

This is certainly possible both in theory and in real life. However, with that being said, it also depends on many different factors including your anatomy, your risk factors, the kind of lift you need, etc. On a healthy patient planning on a straightforward surgery, this is most definitely possible.

Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon moving forward.

Best of Luck!
