I am considering a lower body lift and was wondering if it was considered safe to do an arm lift at the same time. I am 47F with a BMI of 23 and my weight has been stable for some time - I have no other health concerns. Due to significant weight loss, I have moderate excess skin and very poor skin laxity around the hips, lower abdomen, thighs and butt. My arms have excess skin. I am about to start consulting with a surgeon or two, and wondered about the general thoughts of the network here.

Answer: Combination pf procedures Dear brooms47, I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Answer: Yes but... The short answer is that the lower body lift can be combined with an arm lift. But it all depends on how long the two combined procedures will take. Frequently, massive weight loos patients require staged procedures to keep the surgery time to a reasonable duration. A board-certified plastic surgeon will be able to examine you and make recommendations.
