The benefits of combining cosmetic surgery procedures into one session have become a mainstay in plastic surgery. Doing more than one procedure at once was not common in the past, but in today’s day and age, combining procedures makes perfect sense. Patients benefit from one recovery, less cost and most importantly, achieving the final results in one surgical session.

When given the option to address several issues, most patients have a lot to say. But first, the patient needs to be sure that his/her surgeon performs combination procedures routinely. Dr. Hakki has been performing combination procedures safely with successful results for years. Below are the most requested combination procedures by Dr. Hakki’s patients:

Facial Cosmetic Procedures Combos:

Liquid Facelfit: This treatment is the latest, noninvasive trend in combination procedures. Better together, fillers and Botox are key factors in rejuvenating the aging face. Since aging is in part due to loss of volume, fillers such as Radiesse or Juvederm can help your surgeon reshape and volumize your face. Botox then relaxes the corresponding muscles. This duo-treatment approach results in smoothing out aging lines and wrinkles instantly. In the hands of an experienced surgeon a liquid facelift can be done in one session, takes half an hour and requires no down time.

Facelift-Fat Grafting-Peel-Laser Combo: Gone are the days of the lone-standing facelift which resulted in a wind-tunnel-like face, both tight and empty. Our faces age in multiple ways and while gravity causes sagging and drooping, our faces also lose volume. Aging skin turns dull in color with enlarged pores and age spots. A facelift & fat grafting procedure with a laser & peel combo addresses all three aging factors in one step. While the facelift surgically addresses the loss of skin laxity, a fat transfer performed at the same time as a facelift restores volume and rebuilds the youthful structure of the face. This combination procedure also improves skin texture. Laser skin resurfacing or a peel completes this natural treatment by improving skin viability and providing glowing complexion.

Breast Lift-Augmentation Combo: This procedure is standard in Dr. Hakki’s practice. Although some surgeons split up breast lift and breast implant procedures, combining the two in one surgery has been Dr. Hakki’s approach for years. Patients typically lose the shape of the breast as well as fullness. A breast lift alone will lift the breast but it will not address the lack of volume and fullness in a patient’s cleavage. A breast lift augmentation combo offers patients a voluptuous higher looking breast. Dr. Hakki uses saline or silicone implants or fat grafting into the breast (natural breast augmentation) to achieve successful results.

Liposuction-Fat Grafting Combo-Brazilian Butt Lift: This procedure is the ideal solution for a patient desiring a more rounded, curvaceous buttock region. This is achieved by liposuctioning multiple areas of the patient’s body, which in turn, helps define the desired area. Dr. Hakki’s approach relies on a unique technique of harvesting and re-injecting the fat. He reinjects his patient’s own harvested fat into the buttocks. Liposuction removes fat from the lower back and spine area, allowing for a beautiful curvature of the back. Liposuction brings out the protrusion of the buttocks once the fat is injected. Dr. Hakki injects a large volume of fat depending on the patient and the volume desired. Combining a liposuction procedure with fat grafting or a Brazilian butt lift is the safest most permanent way to achieve great results in buttocks augmentation.

Liposuction-Tummy Tuck Combo: The liposuction procedure partnered with a tummy tuck in a single procedure has become a natural twosome. The paired procedures enjoy a naturally synergistic love affair. The liposuction is typically performed on the surrounding areas of the stomach, such as the love handles, waist and flanks. This provides the patient with a more sculpted look, while the tummy tuck removes the stretched skin. 

Bottom Line

Dr. Hakki’s combined surgery profile has proven to be safe throughout the years, which is primarily attributed to his years of experience. Luxxery Medical Boutique procedures are done under local anesthesia and conscious sedation.  This effective use of local anesthesia allows patients to be comfortably anesthetized, avoiding the need for general anesthesia. This leads to a decrease in infection and bleeding, allows for longer operating room time and reduces complications. All surgeries are performed at our certified and fully accredited Luxxery surgery center. Visit us today for your private consultation with our artist Dr. Hakki.

Buttocks augmentation is not as simple as it sounds, which is probablywhy it is among the least commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the UnitedStates. Yet in the last two years, the procedure has increased in popularityand has become a commonly researched procedure in cosmetic surgery. There aremany ways you can get a butt augmentation but only a few safe approaches havestood the test of time.

Since the buttocks have a very different anatomy, augmenting themrequires advanced training. How to go about it safely requires refined skillsand a great degree of artistry. A former Miss Argentina made headlines lastyear when she reportedly died from complications of buttocks augmentationinjections. The product used in this unfortunate case is industrial silicone. Thesedangerous “liquids”, named PMMA, or polymethylmetacrylate, or Hydrogel, or Silikon1000, or Aquamid are the subject of this discussion.

Our goal is simple; to educate patients about the potential dangers ofbutt augmentation by injections of unsafe, counterfeit or illegally importedcosmetic injectables. These injections are usually performed by unknown or poorlytrained physicians, or individuals who are not even physicians. Keeping this inmind; the FDA has not approved single filler for buttocks augmentation otherthan fat grafting. Autologous fat is the standard approach to buttocksaugmentation by injections in the U.S. and it is safe when performed byexperienced plastic surgeons.

Liquid silicone injections have more disadvantages than advantages.The product, regardless of what the writing on the label of the vial says, is expensive,with cost ranging between $300-$500 per cc or cubic centimeter. Since 1 cubic centimeter of liquid equals about 0.0338 of oneounce it takes a lot to augment a butt. Cheaper impure versions of the product arealso available but are all suspect. The average butt augmentation requires hundredsof ccs on each side so the process can get pretty costly. Aside from the cost,the bad results sometimes achieved with the product are typically permanentlydeforming. The real danger lies with the complications that may arise later. Thoughthe product initially offers patients sought-after changes its long lastingeffects are bad. The industrial product is not a medical product and the free siliconemolecules in some can result in horrible infection and abscesses that may hardenthe injected site and slough the skin.

It will be hard to find a reputablephysician with experience in butt augmentation using any injectables, sincenone have been FDA approved so far. In the U.S, fat injections, using fat fromthe patient’s own body, is the standard approach to successfully and safelyaugment your buttocks. The procedure is best performed by a cosmetic surgeonwith a vast experience in fat transfer and a proven successful harvesting andgrafting technique.

The message that we are tryingto send to patients is; if you are considering a butt augmentation don’t letsomeone use an industrial liquid on you instead of your own body fat?

If you must, then beware…

Ask the following questions:  

·      Is the practitioner board certified by the American Board ofPlastic Surgery or any other board that trains physicians in cosmetic surgery?

·      Is the product approved by the Food and Drug Administrationfor butt augmentation? And what is the physician's success rate doing this.

·      Are your results permanent?

The answers to all abovequestions can best be addressed by a board certified plastic surgeon. If his orher practice includes buttock augmentations he or she can give you a buttocksaugmentation in a safe manner, with permanent results, using your own body fat.
