Breast lift with implants and arm lift at the same time? (Photo)

This is a common combination and can address the lateral chest area in between. Allow several days to a week on average to return to work.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

IMHO that is a reckless plan and an unrealistic recovery timeframe; you need no less than 1 month of recovery, I'd rather set your self in any poor healing issue and plan 5-6 weeks off work and any kind of duties.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Congratulations on your weight loss.   The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  With that
being said, based on your photographs, the best shape and contour could be
achieved with an implant and a wise pattern breast lift.  The size,
profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast
size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. 
This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with
equal input from both you and your surgeon.  An arm lift can be performed at the same time.  I cannot fully evaluate your arms based on this photograph and an in-person consultation will be very helpful.   Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for the question and photo. You appear to be a good candidate for both. Recovery from the breast augmentation and lift is easier than the arm lift. Of course that depends on how long the arm lift incision is and if liposuction is performed. If it's just skin removal the recovery can be quicker. Some numbness can occur after the arm lift but in most cases it is reversible. 7-10 days is a reasonable recovery time after surgery. Best of luck with your upcoming surgery. Dr. Khuthaila 

You are a good candidate for a breast lift and implant insertion. I would stage the procedures and not do them at the same time. It would be easier recoveries and I believe you would have a better result. 

Given that you telecommute, you should be able to work from home one week after a mastopexy and or breast augment. I would not recommend that the arm lift be performed simultaneously. The procedures should be staged.

For my weight loss patients, the combination of a an arm lift and a breast lift, with or without breast implants is a very common procedure to be done all at once. For my patients, I would tell them a few days off work is all that's necessary as long as they're able to extend their arms upward for a fair amount of time during the day. Some compression garment is very helpful with the attendant swelling of most arm lifts. This would have to be a consideration in the clothing that's worn at work. As far as the numbness goes, any surgery that skin is excised can lead to some numbness that's beyond the scar. It may take many months for this feeling to be normal again. Best of luck in your surgery.
