Order - arm lift, back lift, butt lift?

I would recommend doing the prone position procedures first - back lift, buttock lift, and then the arm lift in the supine position. The buttock lift can be very effective in lifting a ptotic buttock.

When I see patients for body contouring after they have lost a great deal of weight, my preferred order of surgeries is: 1 - lower body lift, 2 - arm lift with possible lateral thorax/back lift, breast lift all at the same time and 3 - thigh lift. The lower body lift is an extremely powerful operation and corrects the skin excess and contours the abdomen, some of the inner thighs, the outer thighs and the buttocks and back. Good muscular development in the buttocks helps the buttock have the best possible shape after the butt lift and the butt lift has an excellent skin lifting capability. If patients have lost a great deal of weight, there is typically excess skin of the arms, the back and lateral thorax and possibly ptosis of the breast. This can be corrected all in one operation with an extended brachioplasty, lateral thoracoplasty, and breast lift. Check with your plastic surgeon, whether they would be able to combine these operations. Best wishes.
