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.

I would just ask the surgeon in DR how much more it would be to the the arm lift too while I was there . When in Rome !

I would pick TT, Breast lift and BBL because those are the areas I need the most work on. I plan on doing all of this ( not sure about the BBL because I have a big butt now I have to see how it looks when I lose weight) but first I need my WLS , I am getting ahead of myself. I can't wait though !

Well, even pre-weight loss I wanted my breasts done (they've been pointing to the floor for at least 20 years now, and one is a full cup size smaller than the other), and now they're even worse, so the breasts will be the first to be done, (lift and maybe augmentation since I'm losing a lot in that area), probably in conjunction with my arms. If I had a desk job or any other job that did not require me lifting my arms up in front of people on a regular basis, I could probably live with my flappy arms. But I'm a teacher and I write on the board a lot (and do a lot of presentations both here and abroad) and I definitely feel the breeze blowing as my arm flaps back and forth as I write. No amount of strength training is going to fix that problem.

However, I'm also very bottom heavy (pear-shaped) and I imagine I'll need some work done below. I never thought I would need a butt lift, as I've always had a very round, high butt my entire life (even when thin), but now it's sagging and touching the back of my legs (a really strange feeling) and it hurts to sit on anything for any length of time. I'm not sure if I'll need a Tummy Tuck yet - I thought that I might, but my belly seems to be shrinking nicely with no real problems at the moment. Thighs will probably need work (and lipo) but that's where I'm losing weight the slowest (of course) so it'll be a while before I know how bad that problem is.

In any event, I'm starting to save for plastics now, which won't happen for at least another year from now (probably longer), and I'll split the surgeries up - one for breasts and arms (first), and then 6 or 12 months later, my lower half.
