I was thinking of doing arm lift and breast augmentation but think it would be better to do arm lift and tummy tuck together. Is it possible to do those two surgeries together? How long is recommended to take off work?
Answer: Can you get an arm lift and tummy tuck at the same time? If you are healthy, an arm lift and tummy tuck can be performed at the same time in about 4 hours. Make sure your surgeon is an expert at arm lifts, because this is not as common a procedure as the tummy tuck. You will probably need 2 weeks away from a sedentary job.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Arm Lift With Tummy Tuck It is possible to do all in one surgery. Many procedures can be combined during one surgery. Also, combining these #procedures may decrease anesthetics, costs, and recovery time. However, I look at the risk factors such as surgery time greater than 6 hours, or #anesthesia time, increased risks of DVT, prolonged #healing, #positioning after surgery to name a few, which are a lot to consider. These factors are relative to performing any variety of combinations. If deemed a candidate, you may benefit from a #drainless tummy tuck with #liposuction. Silicone #drainage tubes are used by trained Plastic Surgeons for many different operations. The purpose is to drain extra fluid that may otherwise accumulate under the skin, fat or muscle following an operation. Patients generally find this annoying and uncomfortable and they can impede mobility and therefore slow aspects of #healing. Over the years, surgeons have improved procedures and found ways to eliminate the need for these #drains in a variety of operations; including #tummy #tuck or #abdominoplasty.The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate. Begin with an in-person, one-on-one consultation to determine if you are an ideal #candidate and which technique is best for you. Most importantly, your procedures should be performed by a #Plastic Surgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery.

Answer: You can get an arm lift and tummy tuck at the same time Thank you for your question.Yes you can haveand arm lift and tummy tuck of the same procedure. However he must be in good health with no contraindications to surgery. He also must find a plastic surgeon who is willing to do multiple procedures at the same time. Doing multiple procedures increases the duration of surgery and not all plastic surgeons are willing to do this type of procedure.
