From my very top weight during pregnancy, I've lost over 100lbs, so my stomach is in terrible shape with stretch marks, excess skin and an "apron". Along with that, my backside and legs are droopy and have too much skin for the "meat" inside ;-) Most doctors advised me to have a full lower body lift, but one has suggested an aggressive tummy tuck with a lower body lift at a later date. I am also going to have a breast lift with implants. Which route should I go - 1 or 2 surgeries?

Answer: Full lower body lift vs tummy tuck & then lower body lift? Hello! Congratulations on your weight loss! Body contouring after such weight loss are very popular procedures and can produce excellent results! These procedures may be safely combined at one setting, given you are healthy and without significant medical comorbdities. I would consult with a plastic surgeon who would examine you and discuss the various options and assist you to decide if you wish to undergo all of the procedures at once or at smaller staged procedures. An examination of the amount of work to do with each will also make the decision. There would obviously be a cost saving and recovery benefit for a one-stage procedure. However, your safety should not be sacrificed for these reasons.If it was deemed wisest to stage these procedures, you will have to decide which procedure(s) are most important to you. You should devise a priority list and discuss this with your surgeon and several of these procedures will still likely to be combined at the same procedure. Thank you for your question! Hope that his helps and best wishes for a superb result!
