Is it possible to perform a Lower Body Lift and Arm Lift at the same time?

It is certainly possible, but I would perform them separately.  Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of
body contouring procedures each year. Then look at the plastic
surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who
can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Your surgeon can best answer this question as they know your needs and health profile.  However, in general the combination of body lift and brachioplasty is a reasonable procedure as long as surgical time can be kept within 5 hours or so.  The alternative is to do a two stage surgery.  The pros and cons should be discussed thoroughly with your surgeon before you make any choice.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic Surgeon

Yes, technically it is possible to perform the arm lift (brachioplasty) and the 360 circumferential body lift at the same time; and I have done it. However, I would not suggest it.After your 360 circumferential body lift, the problem is that you need your arms to get up and move around. To go from the bed to bathroom or the dining room, you need will need to pull yourself up. This is often difficult to do if your arms have just had surgery. In addition, you need your arms to take care of the incisions, drains, and dressing changes. Also, you will need your arms to take care of yourself in the bathroom.I would suggest having the 360 circumferential body lift first, then approximately one or two months later, having the arm lift or brachioplasty. To assist yourself getting out of bed after the 360 circumferential body lift, I would suggest recovering in a recliner. Ideally, you can purchase or rent a recliner that automatically sits you up.Good luck with your surgeries and weight loss journey.Sincerely Dr Katzen
