I have a gastric band and have lost 7.5 stone. I have been left with a very saggy belly and arms and I would like both procedures done together. I would like to know if this is possible and am hoping I wouldn't have to have any fluid out of my band beforehand. Will to travel anywhere but surgeon must be registered with proof of doing these surgeries many time. Thank you
Answer: Multiple Procedures Thank you for your question. If you are in good health and your BMI is under 30, typically, these procedures can be done at the same time. However, this is best to be answered by your board certified plastic surgeon during a consultation who is comfortable and experienced performing multiple procedures at once.

Answer: A tummy tuck and arm lift In most cases, this combination of surgeries can be performed together very safely. There are many variables that may lead the surgeon to be more or less enthusiastic about the combination procedures. You need to see a board-certified plastic surgeon, as you say, experienced in these procedures, for an evaluation to see if this is the right way to proceed for you.

Answer: Combined Procedure Recovery These procedures can be combined provided you are healthy enough and prepared for the recovery. I encourage you to ask very specific questions regarding post procedure care to make sure you have a good understanding of what your limitations will be during recovery.
