Hello doctors, really looking for your expertise here. I am 5ft 2, I weigh 127lbs, very good health. I don't have much excess of skin. But lost 50lbs 4years ago, and lower body needs a boost! I've been looking to combine both LBL and Vertical inner thigh lift. why are there certain PS's that will combine both? And some who require it to be done separately ? Together or separate for the best results? And if the procedures were to be separate, which one should be done first and why? Thank you!

Answer: Lower body lift or thigh lift Dear caryevans, 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: Which one first and why? Lower body lift or thigh lift? The decision on whether to undergo a lower body lift or a thigh lift first depends on several factors, including your individual goals, the extent of excess skin and tissue in each area, and your plastic surgeon's recommendations. However, in general, if you need both procedures, it's common for plastic surgeons to recommend starting with the lower body lift.A lower body lift typically addresses multiple areas including the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. By starting with a lower body lift, you can address the excess skin and tissue around the entire lower body in one surgery. This can provide a more comprehensive transformation and may reduce the need for additional surgeries later on.Once you have healed from the lower body lift, you can then assess the results and decide if further refinement is needed in specific areas such as the thighs. If additional tightening and contouring of the thighs are desired, you can proceed with a thigh lift as a separate procedure.Ultimately, the sequencing of these surgeries should be discussed thoroughly with your plastic surgeon, taking into consideration your specific anatomy, goals, recovery time, and overall health.
