I got 4 surgeries AT ONCE... My Plastic $urgery Journey & Results

Overview

Creator Nikocado Avocado documents multiple plastic surgeries following a weight loss of ~250 lb over ~2.3 years. The videos show recovery, results, and practical tips while she eats a large mukbang meal. Surgeries were performed in Beverly Hills by Dr. Katson and were spaced roughly one month apart.

Timeline

1. January — major 360° circumferential body lift / extensive skin removal (removed ~8–10 lb of skin).
2. February — additional torso lift, thigh lift refinements, small lower‑back liposuction and nipple tightening/relocation.
3. Earlier (prior to the above) — facelift and necklift.

Surgeries / Procedures

• 360° circumferential body lift (extensive skin removal).
• Brachioplasties (arm lifts).
• Torso lift and thigh lift (follow-up to remove remaining loose skin).
• Small liposuction of the lower back to smooth contour.
• Nipple tightening/relocation.
• Facelift and necklift (performed earlier).

Recovery experiences and practical tips

• Expect swelling for months after major skin removal (commonly around 6 months); swelling can shift and temporarily make other areas look worse.
• Common discomforts: pain (especially legs and groin), stinging drains (armpit drains painful early), catheter discomfort on removal, and slow healing in moist areas (groin).
• Drains: they often look worse than they feel; removal is usually quick and less painful than anticipated.
• Blood‑clot prophylaxis: Lovenox injections were used for about two weeks.
• Pre-op testing: get blood work (CBC, iron levels) and clearances as required; iron supplements with vitamin C were taken to maintain hemoglobin/ferritin.
• Pain medication notes: pain meds help recovery but stopping long courses can cause withdrawal‑like symptoms (nausea, hot/cold flashes, headaches); taper under doctor guidance.

Constipation (major emphasis)

• Constipation is a significant and sometimes painful post‑op problem. Practical measures mentioned:
  • Use prescribed stool softeners and follow surgeon guidance.
  • Limit high‑fiber fruit/vegetable intake immediately after major surgery if advised (she reduced fruit intake early to avoid blockage).
  • Maintain hydration and a gentle diet progression.
  • Medical interventions (suppositories/enema) if needed — seek doctor help for severe blockage or bleeding.

Surgical planning advice

• Choose a surgeon experienced with massive weight‑loss patients; 360° lifts for weight‑loss patients require specialized expertise.
• Check portfolios, reviews, credentials, and do in‑person consults.
• Space surgeries appropriately; combining many large procedures increases risk. She spaced hers about one month apart but noted slower healing when multiple operations are done in a short span.
• Rest, a recovery center with nursing, and a caregiver are very helpful in early recovery.

Lifestyle, diet & health routines

• Current weight reported around mid‑170s lb (scale ~174 lb) after surgeries.
• Supplements/meds: multivitamin, iron + vitamin C, antibiotics as prescribed, Lovenox post‑op, stool softeners.
• Emphasis on protein and heme iron — eats meat at most meals to support recovery and iron levels.
• Anti‑inflammatory foods: avocados (she reports eating ~2–3 avocados/day and credits them for aiding inflammation/recovery).
• Exercise: avoiding heavy abdominal work; plans to focus on building glutes once medically cleared.

Mukbang / Recipes & Food Highlights

During recovery she shares a large mukbang meal that includes:

• Seasoned ground beef (staple), sunny‑side‑up eggs, quail eggs.
• Chicken breast; coconut‑pumpkin chicken curry soup (made with fresh coconut milk blended from whole coconut).
• Breadfruit mashed “mashed potatoes” (steam/boil breadfruit until soft, mash with salt and butter).
• Homemade breadfruit fries from fresh breadfruit.
• Plantains, bananas, cilantro.
• Fresh coconut milk (made from whole coconuts).
• Avocados (multiple daily; used on mashed breadfruit).
• Small sip of Coca‑Cola as a treat.

She attributes part of her recovery and reduced inflammation to regularly eating avocados.

Recommendations & Takeaways

• Research thoroughly and pick a surgeon experienced in post‑weight‑loss reconstructive procedures.
• Be prepared for the difficult parts of recovery: constipation, drains, swelling, pain, and mental ups and downs.
• Skin removal/reconstructive surgery can be life‑changing for physical comfort and mental health after massive weight loss, but risks, timing and surgeon choice must be weighed carefully.

Travel, Events & Logistics

• Traveled to Beverly Hills for surgeries and used a recovery center with 24/7 nursing after procedures.
