Several PS procedures at once?

I'm looking for experiences from those who had more than one ps procedure done at the same time. I am currently considering having a tt done as well as removing excess skin on my upper arms and thighs. I have read that it is painful (of course!) and it's hard to find a comfortable position to rest in but I am wondering if any of you would have done it differently now that you are through. My thinking is that it would be less expensive to have it all done at once. Money isn't the only consideration so opinions are welcomed! Thanks!! Sandra

Sandra, I had my TT (with muscle tightening) and a breast reduction done at the same time. I can honestly say that I am glad I had them both done at one time. I don't think one interferred with the other and I only had to be put under one time which in my mind is a huge benefit by itself. I can say that since you will be very sore in your midsection you will rely a lot on your arms to pull yourself up which might be a problem, but I don't have any experience on that. Good Luck, Mary

Thanks Mary. I was wondering about that - getting up I mean. I've had c-sections before so I know what you mean about pulling yourself up with your arms. I agree that going under anesthetic once is a benefit. Thanks for your input! Sandra

I had a tt & arm lift done 12 weeks ago. I'm going in for my thigh lift/lipo next week. I originally wanted to have all done at once but my PS wouldn't do it - it would have been a 12+ hour surgery & it's not good to be under that long plus he said he would have felt rushed. I'm glad I didn't have it done all at once. While the pain wasn't horrible - I can't imagine what it would have been like had I had the thigh lift too. There are some surgeons who would combine a lot of procedures at once - I don't recommend it. Good luck to you! Nicole tt/arm lift 12.20.05 thigh lift/lipo 3.21.06 -195lbs!

I noticed you're in Rochester Hills - if you're looking for a plastic surgeon, let me know. Mine is FABULOUS! He's located in Troy right by Somerset. Take care, Nicole

Yes - I'd love to hear about your plastic surgeon. Thanks! Sandra

I had a TT with muscle tightening and breast lift done together. That first week was TOUGH, but I am glad I had them done together. The TT is HUGE surgery. I would do another procedure with it, but wouldnt want to do more than that. I was under anesthesia for over 5 hours as it was...and didn't want to be any longer than that.
