Dr. Sinno's mommy makeover patients have found the combination surgery approach advantageous for a number of reasons, which often include: There is only one recovery period, which is more convenient for taking time off work and other activities. It saves some money compared with having procedures done separately because patients have to pay certain fees only once, such as anesthesiology and operating facility fees. Having several treatments done at once brings emotional benefits as patients complete a full transformation, restoring their bodies to a more youthful state in one fell swoop. Since patient safety is the most important factor, Dr. Sinno will recommend staging the procedures in multiple surgeries if they are expected to require extended anesthesia time.
