Multiple procedures, what do you think?
Like Lee, I had all my body work done at one time under an epidural and twilight sedation. I had one recovery period and was back at work after 8 weeks. I had an, LBL, BL, arms and medial thigh lift. Yes, I had to be careful getting in and out of bed, and couldn't use my arms very much. I was also a bit leary about waiting to go back into surgery as I don't do pain very well and was afraid that I wouldn't finish up. So all done at once, then 4 days later I had a full neck & facelift, which hurt more than the all the body work. Dr Sauceda is amazing.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences and opinions! It was very helpful to me to hear what you all had to say. I had a great consultation with Dr. Bitar today and scheduled my surgery for May 4th!!! In the end, I decided to do the tummy and breasts in one surgery, and will do the arms a few months later in a second surgery. It sounds like the recovery for the arms will not be as big of a deal as the other surgery. Hopefully, I'll have the courage to go through with it when the time comes! I'm so excited to have a surgery date!!!
Thanks for all of your help!
