I am far from getting a tummy tuck/body work done, but am curious as to what is considered standard/normal procedure. I mean - Like if I could save up the money to not only have a tummy tuck/love handle thing done, but also have my arms, legs, and neck done too, is it normal or ok to have all of that done at once, or would a doc be needing to do 2 separate surgeries on me?

I am hypothetically thinking here, and am just curious if it is even considered safe to do all of that at once, or if most docs would prefer to do a little at a time kind of thing.

I figure that if I start thinking about all of this now, and perhaps start shopping for a surgeon now as well, that maybe by the time the baby is 2 or 3 I'll be ready for something like this.

Yikes!!!

I just had the TT done, and my doc was personally against doing a boob job at the same time. He said it could be done, but it is major trauma to your body. I have also heard of total body lifts, but I think they do lower and upper body separate. Honestly, I couldn't imagine having more than one surgery done- IT HURT!!!!!
