Answer: You can do both procedures together Every doctor is different and plans his or her surgeries differently. However, it is common to combine both an arm lift and tummy tuck together. As a patient, it is in your best interest because it is less expensive and allows you to recover once rather than twice. There may be reasons why this two step approach is being recommended. Talk to your board certified plastic surgeon before undergoing any procedure. If you had to do one before the other, I would do the tummy tuck first because it has a longer recovery and has more health benefits.

Answer: Arm lift arm lift scar arm liposuction brachioplasty arm reduction arm specialist Los Angeles loose arm skin fat arms excess arm Hi Jessica, Thank you for your question regarding whether you should have an arm lift or a tummy tuck done first. Every plastic surgeon is different and every plastic surgeon does things a little bit differently. In my Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice, I have been combining arm lifts and tummy tucks in the same procedure for the past 20 years. I see no reason to stage your arm lift and your tummy tuck. Your recovery should be fine. If your arm lift and your tummy tuck cannot be performed together for some reason, then you have to ask yourself which area bothers you the most. I would perform surgery on the area that bothers you the most. One month later, I would perform your second surgery. In regards to your arm stretch marks, there is no liposuction machine, whether it is the VASER, SmartLipo, etc. that will remove your arm stretch marks. The only way to remove arm stretch marks is with an arm lift. Based on the arm pictures you provided, many of your arm stretch marks would be removed with an arm lift. Good luck! I hope that I have answered your questions regarding an arm lift and tummy tuck. If you have any more questions rearing the arm lift, arm reduction, arm liposuction, or a tummy tuck, please call my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Vaser or Smart Lipo to arms can avoid arm lift Personally, many of my patients avoid arm lift scars with Vaser ultrasound liposuction and/or Smart Lipo laser which tightens the skin. Stretch marks may improve but are not removed.You can do this with tummy tuck, but I do not like to add fat transfer as recovery is more difficult.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
