WHAT TO DO FIRST???
I am starting to really get the ball rolling on seeing about what all I need to reform my body!!!! I have 25ish pounds to get off, that I am working on doing so when it is time for surgery I will be where I want. My question is what surgery should I have done first? I have lost 165 pounds, I am 5'5, I want a full body lift. Arms tucked, breast lift & implants, legs tucked, tummy & back chub done. Any input or advice that you can offer would great!!!
Thanks, Katherine

Just my opinion I would do the legs the last. For me it was the most painful and wouldn' want to have that first and then be thinking about that pain when I had the others done. I personally had my LBL & arms done together and then my thighs and breasts. My Dr. wouldn't do thighs and TT at the same time. He also thought that trying to do the BL/BA along w/ the LBL would be too long in surgery which is why we went w/ the arms since that was doable.

Hey there,
Here is the order that I chose....and it seems to be going well:
Full Tummy Tuck/chin lipo
brachioplasty with armpits removed (skin, that is) and chest side skin removed
Belly button revised and liposuction on my arms
Next surgery is just 6 weeks away! WOW! I will have my arms redone pulling off more skin.....and the love handles/flanks cut out. :-)
It is purely up to you! I liked what I did!

Hi Katherine,
Decide what bothers you the most and have that procedure first. For me, I hated my the hanging skin on arms and breasts the most so I went with the upper body lift first. That way if I got too scared for a second round I had the procedures done that bothered me the most. 4 months later I had a lower body lift. Although my doctor typically does the lower body first and then upper, I'm very happy I did the opposite. I had a lot more anxiety going in for my second round and could have easily chickened out. Good luck to you; it's well worth the pain, money, time.
