It safe to get arm-lift , thigh lift and labiaplasty done in the same operation with a BMI of 20 or should they be done separately?
Answer: Combining procedures Combining procedures is considered safe, but there is a limit. Typically I do not like to combine labiaplasty with other procedures. There are actually several minimally invasive approaches that can be used to address labia concerns. I have included a video that I hope you find helpful. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss what is right for you.

Answer: Surgery I would suggest doing the arms separately from the thighs so that you can get out of bed. The labioplasty could be done with the thigh lift.

Answer: Separate Extremity Surgeries It is typically best to separate extremity surgeries, or those surgeries performed on the arm and legs. Having surgery on the arms and the legs at the same time will greatly hinder your mobility and predispose you to blood clots or VTE (venous thromboembolism) events. The labiaplasty can be combined with either surgery, but would be best to combine with the thigh lift in my opinion as there is a good amount of self care that must be performed following a labiaplasty and you will need your arms free to perform this self care.

Answer: Arm lift arm reduction brachioplasty arm lift expert thigh reduction vertical thigh lift medial thigh lift labiaplasty labia Is it safe to have an arm lift, thigh lift, and labiaplasty at once with a BMI of 20? Thank you for your question regarding whether it is safe to have an arm lift, thigh lift, and labiaplasty all at once with a BMI of 20. In my opinion, you can have these procedures all at once. Therefore, you can have the arm lift, thigh lift and labiaplasty all at once. However, I would not suggest that you have the arm lift and thigh lift together in one procedure, as the recovery is difficult. The logistics would be getting from the bed to the bathroom. You need to alter extremities to coordinate this activity. Therefore, I would do the thighs and labiaplasty during one surgery and then wait 1 to 2 months before embarking on the arm lift. I would do the thighs and the labiaplasty first because you will need your arms to change dressing for the thigh lift, thigh reduction or thighplasty. Once you are completely healed from the thighs, I would consider the arm lift. I hope this helps to answer your question of whether it Is safe to have the arm lift, thigh lift and labiaplasty all at once. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: I suggest at least two rounds Hello Sara! Hope you're doing well!! In my opinion, that would be too many hours of anesthesia because of the procedures lenght. I suggest you to get them done in different rounds, specially the lifts!

Answer: Arm lift with thigh lift Good question! We often see patients who are interested in obtaining multiple procedures to cut down on the recovery time. These procedures can all be done together, but the recovery can be more difficult. May patients find it is harder to stand from sitting and perform many other daily activities because both arms and legs are recovering. My experience is that patients have an easier recovery when an arm lift and thigh lift are done separately. A labiaplasty could be done at either operation.
