Star Jones has reportedly undergone a breast lift and tummy tuck recently while on break from the View. Unfortunately, sources are reporting that she had a major postoperative bleeding complication. This necessitated her being transported to St. John's Medical Center in Santa Monica for blood transfusions. This is a very unusual complication, but can happen to anyone. I am very hesitant to perform tummy tucks at the same time as breast lifts for this very reason. It is a lot of surgery for someone to undergo, and depending on the surgeon's technique, could be dangerous. Hopefully she will undergo a full recovery.
Tony,
ReplyDeleteYou're spot on with your observations re. safety with these combined procedures. I have a hard time recomending procedures I expect will take in excess of 5 hours of general anesthesia. Ideally you have at least 2 surgeons working simultaneously to do these cases.
I will go up to 7 hours for a healthy patient undergoing facial surgery, but when body surgery is performed I limit myself to 6 hours max. Safety should always be the top priority for every plastic surgeon. Unfortunately, this is too often not the case!
