Hi, I hope you’re well! I am a 24 yo male, was obese most of my childhood, lost a lot of weight (over 140lbs) with diet and exercise, very healthy now. I do have some excess skin - not very extreme. Would it be best to split up the skin removal in 2 surgeries? Is it possible to do arms, chest, and abdomen/above groin in the 1st surgery and back and inner thighs in the 2nd surgery? How many hours for surgeries? General anesthesia with intubation? Safer without muscle tightening? Thanks!

Answer: Male body lift Dear realselfmember000, I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Answer: Number of procedures and duration of surgery Safety is the primary determinant when it comes to planning the number of stages for body contour after weight loss. A physical exam is necessary to assess the level of difficulty and time each area will need to perform the operation well. Generally speaking, a circumferential body lift is a stand-alone procedure. The chest combines well with arms. And thighs are often performed done alone. Thighplasty and brachioplasty (arms) are much more difficult to recover from than most patients think.
