Can it be done?



Recommended Posts

So, I've lost a lot of weight and am feeling good. I look better... With my clothes on... Clothes off, I look like a burst balloon and my boobs are like golf balls in tube socks. When my weight has stabilized I plan on surgery. Question is, is there a package deal that does tummy, boobs and bingo wings?!

You may be able to get a decent quote by going to same surgeon for all procedures, however my understanding is a reputable surgeon will not do a Tummy Tuck and a Brachioplasty/arm lift at the same time.

You see a lot of tummy boob combo and arm boob combo but not a lot of all three.

There are places that will do all of them at once, most will advise that they will plan on doing them all, but how you do in surgery would dictate if they actually do all 3 at once. You see a *LOT* of "all in 1" surgeries with those getting plastics in Mexico.

I'm planning on the same procedures, but splitting it in two. Boobs/arms and then stomach in another round the following year. :)

My PS would not do breasts and arms together as Kim noted. Skin is pulling in opposite directions. That said many PS combine them.

I had my stomach (vertical and hip to hip) with muscle repair and my arms (extended down my sides) at the same time back in january. My surgeon would not have done anything else at the same time along with those.

I want the full 360 lift with the butt, tummy, thighs, hips... and then my arms. Part of me wishes they'd do it all at once so I could just get it over with, BUT, I know that the skin removals are extremely painful and I don't want to be totally immobilized... so two procedures is probably best, even if they would do it all at the same time.

I had FDL with MR, breast lift, extended arms and mons lift together my surgeon was totally comfortable with this combination

Advise not to do arms w LBL/tummy tuck at same time, boobs and LBL done together are okay. It is very difficult to take care of your drains, hygiene, take compression garment on and off, etc with LBL, boobs, and arms all at once. But some surgeons will do multiples.

I am considering Dr. Peter Fisher in San Antonio when I get to that point. He does combine some surgeries and includes butt lift with LBL as standard procedure at no extra cost, uses your fat he lipos.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
