I've lost over 150lbs since my gastric sleeve almost 8 years ago. I've fluctuated between 155-170lbs the past few years but have been maintaining around 158 the past few months. I need the following procedures to remove all the excess skin: arm lift, breast lift, lower body lift, and under chin lipo. My question is, where would you start? I hate my arms and thighs the most. can't go out in bathing suit.

Answer: Where to start Great question and certainly a personal one. I tell all my patients to start with what bothers them the most. There are combinations however that make sense in recovery.

Answer: Plastic surgery after major weight loss Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! It's great that you understand that the procedures that interest you should be broken into stages for your safety as well as to achieve optimal results. There is no right or wrong place to begin, so you can start where you have the greatest concerns. Some procedures go more naturally together such as breasts and the tummy tuck. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Excess skin Thank you for the question! If the excess skin on your arms and legs bother you the most then that is what I would recommend that you start with. A brachioplasty and thigh lift can safely be done in one procedure. There are multiple different procedures that can safely be done in one procedure. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so you can make a surgical plan that meets your goals.
