I have a lot of loose skin from weight loss. I plan on having multiple procedures: lower body lift, breast lift with augmentation, Extended arm lift and possibly a thigh lift at some point. My arms bother me the most and I’m not in a financial position to have a body lift at this time. It is necessary (for the best results) to have the body lift first, or can I start with an arm lift and do the more extensive procedures later on?
