In large experience high volume centers, combining multiple body contouring procedures after massive weight loss resulted in low major complications rate, according to a recent article in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal. Performing the procedures separately resulted in higher minor complication rates.

These findings are in line with our experience at El Paso Cosmetic Surgery. Having an experienced team of surgeons, nurses, and surgical assistants results in shorter operative times and improved outcomes without an increase in complications.

Other benefits of combining multiple body contouring procedures in one surgery, such as circumferential body lift, thigh lift, buttock lift, breast lift, and arm lifts include:

·         Lower overall cost

·         Only one recovery period

·         Improvement of entire body contour
