An Intra-buttock Lift (No Fat Transfer or Implants) at the Crease First or Mini Tummy Tuck

Is it safe if in good health to have them done 5 weeks apart? This is my plan

But, the duration of the operation and recovery are much longer as are the rates of complication (especially, blood clot formation (DVT) and clot movement to the lungs (PE)).
