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?
Answer: Simplify and have one operation. To minimize your costs and have only one operation with one recovery I would suggest having your upper arms, armpits/lateral chest and the breast lift/reduction all done at one operation. This is easily accomplished, without drains and all of your suturing done beneath the skin with dissolving sutures so that the recovery is very user-friendly. Speak with your Plastic surgeon about this. Best wishes.

Answer: Would Combine the Procedures These two procedures are easily combined and are able to be performed at the same time. This may be beneficial in your case as the scar may be able to be placed in such a manner as to alleviate your symptoms. If you would still like to stage the procedures, there is no "preferred" procedure to perform first, you may choose either one.

Answer: Order of procedures If you are a good candidate these procedures may be able to be combined. It appears from the photos that you may be a better candidate for a standard brachioplasty versus a minimal approach. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to discuss your surgical goals and learn what is recommended for you.

Answer: Breast lift & reduction or upper arm & armpit surgery first? Hello and thank you for posting. Downtime for both is similar. Breasts usually take a little longer but sometimes the armpit takes a while due to the humidity of the area. That said, I regularly combine these two by performing an extended arm lift scar that curves down like an S. It would start at the arm, then in though the arm pit, and finally down and across to the breast fold. Lifting not only the breasts and arms but also getting rid of the braw fat fold!
