Time Between Upper and Lower Body Lift? (photo)

I lost 80 pounds. I want to go in for a total body lift procedure (including tummy tuck , butt lift , arm lift and male breast reduction ) What should be the min time gap between an upper and lower body lift procedure considering I have a limited time ? My weight have been stable for over a year now. I was thinking of starting with the lower body lift+ butt lift+tummy tuck and then after 2-3 weeks finish off the other procedures. Could this timeline be possible ? Thanks
