I am due to have an arm lift and full tummy tuck (both horizontal scar and vertical) with a little lypo, after loosing 148lb. what will my recovery be and mobility after the procedure is done?
Everyone is different. Some people take 2 or 3 weeks off work and are requesting to go back to work sooner, others want even more time off and delay going back for even 4-6 weeks. So, your recovery is not only dependant on what you are having done but also how you deal with it. I would typically recommend a patient of mine plan 3 weeks off work to recover from this combination. You may need more or less. Discuss this with your surgeon.
I am 32-year-old woman, and I have recently lost 100 lbs, weighing currently 145lbs. I am in excellent health and a quick healer, or so I have been told. I am interested in getting an arm lift, mini tummy tuck and brazillian butt lift. Would it be even possible to have all 3 procedures done at once? Approximately how much downtime will I need?
Hey Ms76,
Congratulations on the weight loss. If these are the correct procedures for you, I would be inclined to suggest a different combination. Doing them all at the same time, although possible, there are definitely increased risk and a significantly more difficult recovery period.
What I typically recommend (if you are medically cleared for surgery) is to undergo the Brazilian and the tummy tuck at the same time. Patients who have this combination can lay on either side, however cannot lay on their stomach or back. The addition of the brachioplasty would make the procedure recovery extremely difficult due to not being able to use your arms to help you get up/down and in/out of bed when your stomach is sore and you can't sit on your buttocks.
Patients having the Brazilian or Brazilian/Tummy Tuck combo without their arms find this limiting enough. I would also fear your arm scars opening up if you did the full combo from the added strain on them. I wish you best of luck. Hopefully, an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can guide you to a combination that will work for you.
