I've had a massive amount of weight loss (150lbs), I'm 53yrs old 5'4" tall 150lbs I'm in great health overall but loose skin everywhere, I'm interested in facelift, breast, body lift, legs, and arms, lipo sculpting, and BBL. can all these be done at one time, if not, how long before I can go on to have more?
Answer: Multiple procedures after weight loss Thank you for the question. This comes up routinely with massive weight loss patients. The best answer is basically "safety first." What I mean is, the amount of surgical recovery and the duration of the anesthesia, plus your overall health, should determine the maximum plan that you elect. Facial procedures can be done together, and many of these can be done with sedation. For the body surgeries, general anesthesia is needed and there is generally more blood loss and stress on the body (due to fluid and tissue changes). Speaking with your primary care or specialty physician beforehand would be the best way to go.

Answer: Weight Loss Procedures Thank you for your question. Yes, multiple procedures can be performed at the same time. A lot of weight loss patients are in a similar position to you. They would like the procedure as close together as possible. I perform my facelift and necklift under a local anaesthetic so there is minimal downtime involved. Patients are back to work after a week. They typically would have this first, then a few weeks after they can go onto having the general anaesthetic procedures. You could perform multiple procedures such as: the breasts, lipo sculpting and abdominoplasty. Then after 6 months have a follow up with your surgeon to ensure you are healed enough to have the other procedures. The thigh and arm lift then could be performed. This would obviously depend on your health and how long it would be advised from your anaesthetic, to be under a general anaesthetic.Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon. Good Luck.

Answer: Multiple Procedures Congratulations on your weight loss. You are contemplating multiple surgical procedures, that cannot all be performed at the same time. Often we combine breast and abdominal procedures with a BBL at one operation. Facelifts are usually only performed with a small secondary procedure. You should priortize what is most important for you. Good luck and discuss your options with your Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Multiple procedures It is best to keep cosmetic surgery procedures to under 6 hours. A good combination is a facelift separately, then breast and body, and finally arms and lipsuction/BBL.
