Hello! I have loose skin and lots of fat on my upper back. I would like to get a bra line upper back lift. I also have loose skin and fat on my tummy and would like a tummy tuck. Is it possible to get both procedures done at the same time? If not, which procedure would you recommend be done first? I would also like a Brazilian butt lift with lipo to waist and thighs. I also plan on either breast implants, or implants with a breast lift. What combination of procedures do you recommend? Thanks!
Answer: Bra line back lift upper back lift Brazilian butt lift leg liposuction Yes, you can have a bra line or upper back lift and a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty performed at the same time. Technically, I would perform the bra line or upper back lift first then flip you over and perform the abdominoplasty; this way there is not too much tension on the abdomen. In regards to the other procedures you want, it may be advisable to combine some of the procedures. One good option would be to perform the abdominoplasty or tummy tuck with the breast augmentation and lift. I would allow yourself to heal for approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Then I would embark upon your second stage surgery. I would suggest for your second stage surgery that you undergo an upper back lift and a Brazilian butt lift. The benefit of doing the procedures this way is that you do not need to be flipped during surgery. In addition, your recovery may be slightly easier because only one side of you is hurting -- your front side, or your backside. I hope this advice helps regarding your decisions regarding bra line or upper back lift,

Answer: Combination of procedures To be honest I do not see a considerably amount of flaccid skin on your back to perform a back lift. I truly believe just liposuction will help a lot to reduce the volume. Back skin is very nice because of the thick ligaments to the deep tissues and only after a significant weight lost or aging, the back skin sags.Answering your question. Definitely back lift may be combined with Tummy Tuck.The combination of liposuction to upper and lower back and fat grafting to the butt with Tummy Tuck is a combination of procedures very common in my practice with wonderful results.Breast procedures I would recommend to do in separated time (6 months after) to avoid the risk of complications because of a very large and long procedure all in one.Be encouraged.Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Can a Bra Line Back Lift be done at the same time as a Tummy Tuck? I perform the procedures you have mentioned almost every day of the week, many times in combination. I think that the back lift may not be necessary based upon your pictures. Find

Answer: Combination Cases - #plasticsurgery One issue to consider with combination cases is positioning. Doing a procedure on both the front and back will require performing the prep and drape again which takes time and time costs money. In someone who has more to do than an be accomplished in one day, I like to front cases together and then back cases together to be as efficient as possible.

Answer: Upper body lift and tummy tuck The combination of procedures to treat the upper and lower body at the same time is common. Based on your photos, you do not appear to have a significant amount of excess skin on the upper part of your body/back. It may be possible to treat this area with liposuction alone. That being said, if your skin does not adequately contract following liposuction, there is a chance that you may require a skin resection procedure or lift at a later date. Consult with a local board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best option for you.
