Thank you for your question regarding whether you can undergo a combined abdominoplasty, thigh lift, breast lift, arm lift, and blepharoplasty with a BMI of 32. You can undergo multiple combined procedures at the same time. Combined procedures extend the surgical time and therefore, increase your chances of potential complications. However, it is important that multiple medical studies are done before your proposed surgeries to assess your medical health. If you are indeed healthy, you can undergo combined surgical procedures, even with a BMI of 32. Ideally it would best if your BMI is under 30. However, surgeries can still be performed with a BMI above 30. I would suggest you undergo staged procedures because I do not suggest you undergo the thigh lift and arm lift at the same time. The problem with undergoing arm lift and thigh lift at the same time is that all of your extremities are incapacitated. That means getting to your bed and taking care of yourself in the bathroom is not ideal since both your arms and thighs have had surgery. In your case, I suggest a 360 circumferential lower body lift to be combined with thigh liposuction and a vertical medial thigh lift. That would include the abdominoplasty, buttock lift, buttock reduction, hip lift, thigh reduction, and thigh lift. In the second stage, I would combine the breast lift (mastopexy), arm lift (brachioplasty), and blepharoplasty. Either way, seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Thank you for your question whether you can undergo a combined abdominoplasty, thigh lift, breast lift, arm lift, and blepharoplasty with a BMI of 32. I specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss. If you have any more questions regarding the lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy please contact my office. Since the body lift is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 circumferential lower body lift surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
