MimIn, a ? about your arm & thigh procedures

[openag 0]

I'm planning to get a brachioplasty and some TT/breast reduction revisions this year. I also believe I need a thigh lift. Unfortunately, I've read that getting one's arms and legs done at the same time is horrific from a recovery standpoint. I really want to do the procedures together because I'm done going under the knife. MimIn, I know you had them done together. Would you mind providing with a little insight regarding your recovery? If anyone else has had them done together, I would really appreciate your insight too. Thanks.

I just had my arms done and a breast lift in January my dr said he would not recommed doing everything at once and now I see why I was in alot of pain for a good 2 weeks with the arms and had 4 drains to take care of when i got home from the hospital as of now everything is healing nicely but it is still healing i can not even imagine the pain you would be in if you did it all at once. Start on the top and work your way down that is what i am going to do and I look GREAT and feel good .

Best of luck! :thumbup:

I just had an extended TT with a little Lipo, a breast lift with implants and lipo and let me say, if i had more done around my arms and or legs, i cannot imagine how in the world i would have been able to get up and down!!!

good luck with your decision!!!

I had a Breast Reduction and Brachioplasty on 22nd April. To be honest - Although I had NO pain from it (which surprised me) Had I had my legs done also - To be able to lift yourself up might make things complicated - I stupidly lifted a small bag of potatoes and felt a pulling sensation and had to go back to the Hosp to get checked out - And it was only a small bag! I would say to stick to one end of the body at a time - As eventhough it might save time under the knife - It might end up making you have to re-do some things if anything should happen and it is really easy to over-do things...

My Dr also says that to do more than a couple of things would be overdoing it) I wanted a Tummy Tuck - Thighs and Bum done - and he told me that would be too much (he is probably very right)

Good luck to those about to have something done :-)
