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.

Hi, After a Weight Loss of 150 - 200 Lbs Still Having 100 - 125 Lbs. to Go when is It Time to Consider Surgery to Remove Loose Skin?
I am not sure of my starting weight as the scale in the doctors office only went to 400lbs., however based on research, comparing pictures. I have done this weight loss without any surgery, diet & exercise, over a long period of time. Approximently 7 years. The last 1 1/2 years I have been working with a weight management program and it's been helpful. I know it takes a personal consultation to be accurate, so I am just wondering "in general" under these curcimstance what is a common story?
I usually recommend that patients wait until their weight is stable for at least 6 months. There is no use in moving ahead with the significant surgery ahead while you are still making strides. By the way, my sister is a physician and lives in Chico and I will be visiting later this month. It is such a nice little town.
