Breast lift & reduction or upper arm & armpit surgery first? (Photos)

June 2, 2024
Asked By:bullis

I am planning for a breast lift and reduction, and upper arm and arm pit plastic surgery. Any preferred order, arms first and then breasts or vice versa? I have a severe pull on my right breast from my right arm and armpit. On the other hand, it feels like my right arm is stuck in between my breasts. If I lift my right arm I really pull on the left side of the right breast/in between my breasts. Which procedure has the longest downtime?
