How much of this floppy skin can I cut off at once??

I have lost around 170 pounds and think I am probably fairly close to leveling off in my weight loss...so I am starting to think about plastics


I eventually want to have the top portion of my legs, panni, and bat wings removed.  Can I get all of that done at once or is that completely stupid? 

Also, any thoughts on how much all of this will probably cost?  Will I have to live on the WLS equivilant of Ramon Noodles for a portion of my life or entire life, lol?

Thanks in advance for any input!!

These are all questions that a plastic surgeon can answer for you at a consult. They're usully free....talk to a few different surgeons, you will find at least one who you will be comfortable with.

Don't cut off your skin.  Get a surgeon to do it.  Trust me, it's better in the hands of a specialist.

Not to hijack this thread - but this made me giggle.

All depends on your doctor.  I have heard some women on here do quite a few procedures at once.  I had my anchor tummy tuck and breast lift done in June.  I wanted my arms done at the same time and he wouldn't do it because he didn't want me under sedation for anything more than 6 hours . The tt and breast lift was 5.5 hours so I booked my arms for Sept 21st.  When booking them i was thinking of doing my thighs or butt lift at the same time and he suggested to only do my arms because they will be sore and i would not feeling like taking care of or changing dressings of other areas with the sore arms.  I will wait till next year for the thighs and legs.

The other writer was right tho these are questions you go and ask the doctor at a consult.  Up here in Canada we do have to pay for consults any where from $100-$200.

my tummy tuck lower was $ 5,000
tummy tuck above belly button $3,000
breast lift only no implants  $6,000  plus $1,000 for use of hospital
arms $6,000 plus $1,000 use of hospital

I hope this gives you some guideline and good luck your starting a new part of your life.

FIRST OFF...CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS! That is great! Plastics is definitely a go-to plan when it comes to getting rid of  excess skin.

It is not stupid to get those all done at once, infact it is financially friendlier because you save on surgery center fees. I am a patient liason for a plastic surgeon, and having all those done at once is common in our office.

Price will range from surgeon to surgeon. I will message you a link so you are able to find more information about the procedures and more!

If you have any more questions keep on asking! We are all here!

Depends on how much skin you have and how extensive the procedure would be, but a lot of people get all of those procedures done at once. Also, you may be able to get them done cheaper outside of the US. I may go to Mexico to a reputable surgeon, and I was qouted $15000 for TT, TL, AL, BL, and BA.
