I’ve lost 225 lbs in the past 2 years. I’ve had 3 PS consults so far; the recommendations have been vastly different: Option 1: belt lift and lipo; convert to FDL in 2nd round when we do breasts Option 2: FDL belt, lipo, torsoplasty, BBL; breasts and arms 2nd round Option 3: FDL extended TT, breast lift/implants (lipo tbd); arms 2nd round, torsoplasty 3rd round I’d like to do breasts and stomach same time, but only 1 seems to think it’s doable. Is there a reason most want to do separately?

Answer: Body surgery In your case I would start with either a full tummy tuck or belt lipectomy. It’s plenty to go through and you will undoubtably need to be done in stages anyway. Stay away from the FDL. It adds an unnecessary scar and can cause healing complications

Answer: Weight loss plastic surgery Abdominoplasty and breast lift Hello, thank you for your question. Congratulations on the weight loss! that is truly fantastic. Yes in short you can do multiple surgeries together. Typically we can do 2-3 surgeries within one case and then bring your back for more at a later date. You can do your arms, liposuction and brachiaplasty and breast lift with liposuction to your bra rolls. Or you can do breast and abdomen first. We typically recommend doing the longer more difficult to recover surgeries first so it would be abdominoplasty and perhaps breast or can do a 360 belt lipectomy. Speak with your plastic surgeon. There is no right or wrong answer. You will need small revisions along the way due to the amount of excess skin.
