Having four surgeries with different specialists. In what order should these four surgeries be scheduled?

Question

Hi, I'm 5'2", 120lbs. I've decided to go with three different doctors who specialize in different areas. What order would you recommend for having these surgeries? 1. Bra line back lift (Dr. A) 2. Tummy tuck (Dr. B) 3. Arm lift (Dr. C) 4. Breast implants (Also Dr. C) Appreciate your insight. Thanks!

I hope you're not serious. This is a setup for disaster on so many levels. First off, if one particular surgeon is not good for all these procedures then you are with the wrong person. I'm happy to give you the full explanation which is a little too much for this forum. Call my office (EST) anytime.

Dear idance,

this is something you need to discuss with your surgeons. It is important to have enough time between surgeries in order for you to recover fully. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, I do not recommend doing 4 separate surgeries. I recommend you combine the breasts, tummy tuck and arm lift. Once these are completed then consider the back lift.

I totally disagree with your philosophy. Most plastic surgeons are skilled at tummy tucks, arm lifts, and breast augmentation.  I would pick the best surgeon and have him or her do all 4 surgeries.  Best wishes to you.
