Hello doctors, really looking for your expertise here. I am 5ft 2, I weigh 127lbs, very good health. I don't have much excess of skin. But lost 50lbs 4years ago, and lower body needs a boost! I've been looking to combine both LBL and Vertical inner thigh lift. why are there certain PS's that will combine both? And some who require it to be done separately ? Together or separate for the best results? And if the procedures were to be separate, which one should be done first and why? Thank you!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Which one first and why? Lower body lift or thigh lift? The decision on whether to undergo a lower body lift or a thigh lift first depends on several factors, including your individual goals, the extent of excess skin and tissue in each area, and your plastic surgeon's recommendations. However, in general, if you need both procedures, it's common for plastic surgeons to recommend starting with the lower body lift.A lower body lift typically addresses multiple areas including the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. By starting with a lower body lift, you can address the excess skin and tissue around the entire lower body in one surgery. This can provide a more comprehensive transformation and may reduce the need for additional surgeries later on.Once you have healed from the lower body lift, you can then assess the results and decide if further refinement is needed in specific areas such as the thighs. If additional tightening and contouring of the thighs are desired, you can proceed with a thigh lift as a separate procedure.Ultimately, the sequencing of these surgeries should be discussed thoroughly with your plastic surgeon, taking into consideration your specific anatomy, goals, recovery time, and overall health.

Answer: Which One First A lower body lift needs to be performed first as this usually elevates the thighs, particularly the lateral thigh. You do not want to try to pull against a thigh lift by performing the thigh lift prior to the body lift. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

Answer: Deciding Whether to Stage or Combine a 360 Circumferential Body Lift and Thigh Lift Thank you for your question regarding whether to undergo a lower body lift, a vertical inner thigh lift or combine the procedures. This is due to your medical health and the comfort of your plastic surgeon and their medical team. Many plastic surgeons only feel comfortable doing one procedure at a time. That means they will only do the body or thigh lift first. More experienced plastic surgeons with a solid operative team can combine these procedures. Staging the procedures or combining the procedures has its advantages and disadvantages. By combining the procedures, you decrease the number of labs that have to be drawn before surgery; you also decrease the recovery time by 50% because there is only one surgery. Staging the surgery makes the interoperative time slightly less but doubles the recovery time. In my 22 years of experience, if you are in good health and your plastic surgeon has an excellent operating room team, these procedures can often be explicitly combined with lower body lift and vertical medial thigh lift. If you decide to do the systems in a staged surgery, I recommend you undergo the lower body lift first. Doing the lower body lift first establishes the core of your reconstruction. Also, it allows more accessible access to the thighs. While operating on the thighs, sometimes it's difficult to retract the abdomen to get to the thighs. Therefore, if your health is good, I would suggest a combined 360 circumferential lower body lift and vertical medial thigh lift. I suggest staging these procedures if you're borderline on any health issues. Thank you for your question regarding whether to undergo a lower body lift, a vertical inner thigh lift or combine the procedures.
