Both procedures could be done in one stage. However if one procedure is completed then the next procedure could be planned after six months. This is purely if genenal anaestesia is planned for both procedures.
Sometimes we perform both procedures in the same surgical time. It depends more on your physical condition. If one of them has already been done, it would be wise to allow at least for a couple of months to go by so that a full recovery of the first one is already u der way.
Facelift and abdominoplasty are among the most demanding cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. They require extensive surgeon’s experience as well as patient’s cooperation and patience during recovery phase. Therefore, minimum three months should pass between the two surgeries.
In some cases the procedures of abdominoplasty and face lift can be performed at the same time. In other cases will be an interval of 2/3 months.
Depending on the type of anaesthetic used 4-6 weeks.
It all depends how is your healing from the previous operation ,personally I would wait about 6 months but this can be shorten depending on the extent of the operation and the healing from the previous one
