The totality of your procedures should be assessed by your surgeon. The advantages to combining the procedures is possbily lower cost and one recovery period.The disadvantages might be increased risk due to surgical trauma, swellng,and bleeding. You r particular situation should be individually appraised by your durgeon as to what he is comfortable doing. While I have done this combination,and even more in one sitting, I generally try to limit elective surgical time to 6-7 hours. But you also have to consider the type and magnitude of reduction and the total body surface area to be liposuction as this procedure produces what amounts to an internal "burn" with edema and leakage of intravenous fluid.
