Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, Thigh Lift and Breast Implants... at the Same Time?

Congratulations on your weight loss!  Combining plastic surgery procedures is great when it's done right as this helps with recovery times, anesthesia exposure, and costs.  However, it's important to be safe.  Doing too many things all at once can increase your operative risks.  As everyone is different, check with your plastic surgeon to see how many of the procedures can be done at the same time safely.  If you don't have a lot of extra skin, then you may be able to do everything.  Yet, you may want to anticipate having to stage your procedures into 2 or even 3 stages.  Good luck!

Congratulations on your weight loss!  That's awesome!  Plastic surgery certainly can address you areas of concern but to perform all these procedures is not advisable!  In patient's who have had massive weight loss a definitive plan needs to be formulated.  Sometimes two procedures that are close in proximity can be performed or it is okay to perform procedures individually.  If you have your tummy tuck done first then expect 4-6 weeks before vigorous activity can be performed.  Good Luck!!
