It could well be that people have individual reasons for doing one surgery before the other. Some people might even do more than one at once. But if you start kind of small to get the process going, and if you are just newly at goal weight, what would you start with? Any suggestions, or personal experiences?

Im not at goal weight but will be soon, and considering starting surgeries thst soon. My mentor who has worked with thousands of patients agrees that at my older age there is no need to wait an extra year for anything, since she sees how dedicated I am to my lifestyle, and why waste that time? But still, I might well lose more or get more muscle as I continue to get fitter. My idea is maybe the best way to start is the boob lift plus implants. I saw a friend go through it (not after WLS though) in October 2017 and by January she was fully back at normal life looking and feeling great. She was pretty much by December too but by Jan it was like surgery never happened.

Also, are there some surgeries you might later decide not to even do, as you get used to your new body? Like right now, I want the boobs, the lower body / tummy tuck thing, and my thighs are still all out of proportion with fat and skin now, it is really where all my last 10-15 lbs are, and I’d also love to get rid of the arm wings. Possibly also the neck skin.

Has anyone done those 4 things, and in which order did you do them? Just wondering how to plan this out. Thanks.

I am planning to do a tummy tuck with breast lift in mid-2019 and then in 2020 arms with potential implants added depending on how I like my boobs with just the lift.

I had a thigh lift.8 weeks before i had an FLD tummy tuck.My tummy tuck was easier then the thigh lift.Its longer recovery and hurts like hell.I have a high pain tolerance.I couldnt sit on toilet for 6 weeks nor a chair.Had to use a cup to go.For a bm i would eat so i didnt have to go.But eventually it caught up to me and almost passed out in the shower.Very hard to get out of bed.My groin area stitches split open twice.But i would do it again.They stitched groin on both sides all the way to the back a little.I couldnt open my legs much.My thighs had stitches from groin down inner thighs to above knee area.Long recovery its a hard surgery for skin removal and hard surgery to perform.Make sure you have a good surgeon.Good luck!Hope this helps!

I had a FDL with muscle repair, mastopexy, extended brachioplasty and mons lift in my first round and I have just had a reverse FDL. Next up is thighs and completion of the belt lipectomy. The difference is life changing but it is definitely not something to go into lightly the recovery can be emotionally challenging

I wanted my FDL,thigh lift,boob lift with implants and a brachioplasy done all at the same time.My surgeon said absolutely not!Was too risky on chance of infection and recovery.Had my FDL with musle repair then 8 weeks later i had my thighplasty done.After those thighs being done i realized why he said no.Was the hardest surgery i have had.I have a high pain tolerance.Was same day and was given Tylenol 3 with codeine for pain.Nothing stronger was needed he said.Quicker recovery.Was true.It was.I am still in the process of getting my boob lift with implants hopefully in the Spring and my arms maybe a yr later.I do my surgeries in priority of what i want to fixed first.2 surgeries have made a difference.
