I had VSG surgery June of 2020 and have lost a little over 100 pounds. I've been maintaining a weight of about 160 and I'm 5'4". I'm looking to start my plastic surgery journey but I'm curious as to how many procedures I could have done at once as well as what procedures should I start with. My main areas of concern are pretty much my entire top half; arms, upper back, breast, tummy and I desperately want a bbl.

Answer: I have lost a little over 100 pounds…..how many procedures can I have done at once? Congratulations on your weight loss! If you want everything done, for safety reasons, you will need several rounds of combined procedures, assuming your pre-op evaluation is good and you qualify for combined procedures. If the BBL is your main concern, start with a TT lipo BBL. You will definitely need a back lift after that. So I recommend a Back Lift plus Breast Lift with Implants as your second round. If you want to keep going, a thigh lift is a possibility. Thigh Lift plus Arm Lift as your third round should work. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Body contouring after weight loss Hello! Congrats on your weight loss success! There is no set answer for this question. Much depends on your goals, your medical health, and any financial limitations. In a healthy patient it is not unreasonable to address arms, breasts and abdomen at same time. Liposuction of the back and fat transfer need to be discussed and considered after closer assessment of time need and any health concerns. Best of luck to you. Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org.
