I have enough money to get a breast lift and implants, but not enough yet for a lower body lift. I lost over 80 pounds and would still like to lose some more weight before the LBL, but with money left in the reimbursement plan I'm hoping to get the lift and implants now. How long would I have to wait after this procedure to get a lower body lift? I'm hoping to get a periaerolar lift with silicone gel implants under the muscle, if that makes a difference...
Hold on a minute!
Congratulations on your loss! One of my professional passions is taking care of weight loss patients. I know that sometimes, there is a great sense of pressure to get the excess tissue removed so that you feel good about yourself and your accomplishment.
Even before you consider the financial aspects, you must consider the physical aspects. You should not really plan to loose more than about 10 to 15 lbs after surgery as this will tend to compromise final result. You must be in good health, stable weight, good lab values, non-smoker, and in many instances, get medical clearance.
With an 80 pound loss your breasts will not likely be amenable to the peri-areolar lift, as I anticipate that there is too much skin to be removed. So you know, I really don't like that procedure, and the scars with a traditional mastopexy tend to fade and look good-certainly a fair trade compared to the superior (imho) cosmetic result expected with this technique.
Talk to a qualified surgeon, as planning and preparation will take time, and you can get things ready to go in your time frame.
Is there anything that can be done about the loose skin on my stomach, arms, and thighs?
Congratulations on your accomplishment.
The answer is yes it can. Options include tummy tuck, panniculectomy, brachioplasty, thigh lift, to name a few. Some procedures are more physically demanding than others, and surgical risks are real.
I would recommend that you make an appointment with a qualified plastic surgeon with experience doing these procedures in weight loss patients. At the same, I would discuss your plans with your internist so that you can get needed clearance.
Getting into shape, and making plans will take time to make arrangements and optimize chances of a great and safe outcome.

I have had two girls and I'm only 21. I really need to get ride of the stretch and the belly flap. I wanna have my inner thigh fat gone and hip fat and my butt fat as well. I've been looking Into a lower body lift but don't know if I'd be a candidate for it. I wanna also know if their is a reasonable priced doctor in Chicago who could help me get my before body back.
You need a tummy tuck with liposuction of flanks and thighs. Don't shop for price. Find a reputable plastic surgeon and pay his price. Price shopping in Plastic Surgery is bad strategy. Mistakes in plastic surgery are seldom fixable and often last for ever. Treat your body well since you can not get another one.
Good Luck
