Which surgery should I have first ? Arm lift/breast reduction then BBL/lipo or vice versa?

Asked By:Makemeover879 in Dallas, TX

I'm getting an arm lift breast reduction combo. As well as, bbl/lipo of stomach, sides & inner thighs. My breasts are heavy but they don't cause me pain. According to my research bbl/lipo is more painful (although not unbearable) & requires extensive recovery compared to arm lift/breast reduction. To my surprise all women who've had AL & BR didn't experience pain post op, just discomfort lots of itching. Which surgery should I have first? How long should I wait ?
