Can I Remove the Loose Skin on my Backside and Thighs in One Surgery and What Scars Would I Have?

I am male, 28 year old and lost 140lb over 10 years ago. This left loose skin across my body. I have had a gynaecomastia procedure and full abdominoplasty. I still have loose skin on my backside and thighs which I would like removed. Can this be done in one surgery and where would the scars be located? Thank you for your assistance.

Consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon will be helpful. Best wishes.
