If you had the choice of an arm lift, Tummy Tuck and breast work or BBL, breast work, tummy tuck and Lipo which would you choose?

Thank you

Ummmm... It all depends on what areas you feel are the ones needing the most help I guess...

For me it would be = Arms, tummy and breasts.

I would choose a Breast lift, Tummy Tuck and Lipo. I had my Panni done and I was really disappoiinted because my PS didn't come thru with what he said would happen!! Not that I am not HAPPY that 10 plus #'s are gone....BUT!!! Such is life!! RIGHT My hubby said I would never be satisfied that I would always find something that I wasn't happy about. I think he is kind of right, I can find so much looking at myself. Oh well. I have to admit LIFE is GOOD for sure.

I know no matter what I pick I will need my mons pubis fixed and my legs as well as my back. I really don't know when I will have the money for those so I wan to get the best results for now.

Its funny 2 different posters and two different decisions.

Just had my panni done because it is covered by my insurance. None of the other will be.Because of age I decided to not have a tummy tuck............but if I had to order my dream plastic surgeries they would be:

next: arms then: thighs then: neck then: breast reduction, not augmentation

But all of that is a dream at this time. I am extremely pleased with my panni and I only had it done 8 DAYS ago.

I think a BBL is a Brazilian Butt Lift.

I had a Butt lift (Not Brazilian methinks) Have a flat butt now - but still better than the one I had before..... lol

Originally I wasn't going to have my boobs done ..... Then on a whim I did - And I am sooo happy I did - I thought that if I did everything around the boobs (If I did belly and arms) Then the old boobs I had would look out of place - So I asked him to do that as well as the arms and I am so glad I did as they are so much better than the boobs I had before... :D

I want/need the following:
1. Lower body lift with Lipo. I need help all the way around. I'm currently getting an appointment to see about having insurance pay for the panni and I'll pay the rest.
2. Things. But if they do a fabulous job on the LBL then maybe they will be happy with them.
3. Arms and Boobs. But this would just be a nice to do.

I did recently have a consult that would cover 1 and 3 for $25,000. The LBL is $17,500 so I though might might as well do the arms and boobs too for that deal!

But at this point it's all still a dream.

Ahhh thanks re the BBL, got it!

My surgeons goal with my surgery was that I would be so happy with what I had--arms, Tummy Tuck & breasts--that I wouldn't need to do the rest that was on my list--thighs and butt.

So far he's achieved that. I'm almost two years post plastics and thrilled.

Every now and then I think about my wrinkly thighs and flat butt, but I'm 48 so not gonna be perfect anyhow and what I had done was life changing truly! The rest is fine as long as I'm not in short shorts or a string bikini!

I am paying 6000 for a Tummy Tuck breast lift Lipo and bbl in the DR. I was quoted 9500 for a tummy tuck breast augmentation lipo and bbl in Mexico. I am 45 yrs old and I am tired of living in this excess skin. I want to run without hearing the smacking noises.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
