I have lost 155 lbs and am at my goal weight (via diet and exercise). Now, I need to get all the excess skin removed. I'm scheduled for a Tummy Tuck (Fleur-de-lis) and Breast Lift (mastopexy) in September.
I don't know if makes any difference if I do the Medial Thigh Lift (Thighplasty) and Arm Lift/Brachioplasty (revision) next or if I do the Butt Lift and Outer Thigh lift next. Basically, I'm not sure if the order in which you do the procedures makes any difference. Your input will be appreciated! Thank you!
There really is no specific or correct order for the surgery after weight loss. In most cases, patients choose to do their belly and breasts first. This is then followed by the arms and thighs. Some times the back is done at the same time as the belly. Good luck with your surgery.
It does make a difference which order you do the surgeries. It's a bit complex to go over the various combinations in this type of forum. In general, the larger trunk procedures are performed first followed by the extremity procedures. Also, most plastic surgeons are reluctant to exceed six hours of surgery for elective procedures. Your surgeon is the best source of information with regard to order of procedures. Good luck!
