Figure 1. Example of combined procedures executed in a staged fashion. (A) Preoperative views. (B) Postoperative views 5 months after the first stage, consisting of fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, lateral thigh/buttock lift, and brachioplasty. (C) Postoperative views 9 months after the second stage, consisting of dermal suspension and parenchymal reshaping mastopexy, upper back lift, and vertical medial thigh lift. Note that staging also allowed an opportunity to correct the small area of dehiscence which developed along the lateral buttock incision.
