Can I Get Breast Implants and an Arm Lift During the Same Surgery and How Long is the Recovery Time for Both Procedures at Once?

Wonderingperson123
I underwent gastric bypass surgery in 11/2010. I am in need of plastic surgery to fix my sagging skin that is left on my body. I just had a tummy tuck a week ago and am planning on having breast augmentation plus an arm lift two 6-8 weeks after the tummy tuck. Is this option ok? I will have a thigh lift next year so figured I would break down the procedures safely. What would be the total operating time if I decide to have both an arm lift and breast augmentation? Thank you for your insights!
