    Default Combining lower body lift and arm lift

    My surgeon is offering special prices but only as a combination. Has anyone ever had both a lower body lift and an arm lift at the same time? What was recovery like? How much time did you take off work? I have a desk job so I was thinking one week would be okay. I worry about using the bathroom and getting the compression garments on. I appreciate any advice.

    That lower body life.. if it includes a tummy tuck.. you will need much more rehabtime before you go to work.
    TT are painful
    what we have to pay for beauty , in the eyes of the beholder
    Good luck

    I've not had plastic surgery.

    But I've read enough threads about people who've had plastics to know that one week ain't even close to what you'll need in terms of recovery time.

    Keep reading.

    6 weeks off' some can get by with 4 for lower body lift - it's a bigger deal than tummy tuck.

    Does your Dr. know about the 1 week recovery? If he is aware, you need to find a new Dr. I am going next week for a TT & breast lift, & will take 1 month off from work. Please read the blogs , & go to youtube where you can get more info.Best of luck to you.

    What did that entail exactly? I'm having a tummy tuck and thigh lift surgery tomorrow and I'm going back to work in 12 days. I'm so worried that it won't be enough time.

    I had my outer thighs lifted, the butt tightened and reshaped, tummy tucked. I'm on day 5 of recovery. No pain, just soreness. Had first follow up appt yesterday and dr is happy with results. I have no bruising or bleeding. Getting up from sitting in recliner is the hardest. Binder kept riding up on me so I'm in my spanx now and much more comfortable. Gonna have to wait 2-3 months for final results. My thighs are significantly thinner and tighter. No regrets so far. I'm taking 2 weeks off and I think that's enough for me at this point. Best of luck.
