Extended arm lift and major breast lift

Thank you for your question regarding whether an extended arm lift and a significant breast lift can be combined simultaneously. The short answer is yes. An extended arm lift, arm reduction, brachioplasty, and "major" breast lift or mastopexy can be performed simultaneously. The blood supply to the breast and the arm come from entirely different areas. Therefore, these procedures can be combined. Most plastic surgeons specializing in reconstructive plastic surgery after massive weight loss always perform these combined surgeries. The breast lifts vascularity comes from the breasts. Your plastic surgeon will discuss this with you before surgery. If indicated, you may even need a free nipple graft to complete the breast reconstruction. However, almost all breast lifts can be combined with arms reductions. There is no contraindication due to blood flow. Thanks for your interesting question regarding whether an extended arm lift and a significant breast lift can be combined simultaneously.
Sincerely,

Congrats on your weight loss! Thank you for your question. Yes I think these procedures can be done, although pictures would have been more helpful for a better evaluation,consult carefully with a board certified PS, good luck!

Greetings,

Combining procedures at the same time is perfectly acceptable.  Patients that lose dramatic amounts of weight often require multiple procedures to achieve their aesthetic goals.  The main factors determining the safety of combined procedures includes your overall health status, the time required under anesthesia, and the comfort level of the surgeon performing the procedure. Expect to wear an arm garment following your surgery for several weeks to improve your healing process.

Have a great day!

Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be very out of this accomplishment. Yes, I think the combination procedure you are considering is an excellent one: breast lifting, upper body lifting, and arm lifting surgery done in one session are commonly requested procedures after significant weight loss. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Yes, you can have breast uplift / reduction / implant-uplift and arm lift together ( it is almost always second session of body lift procedures) . The  key point is arm lift scar must be in continuity with new breast curve.
