Combining facial plastic surgery procedures with a body lift
The facial procedures of chin reduction and lip implants are relatively small in magnitude compared to your body lift. They can safely be done at the same time as they will not extend the procedure time significantly nor will they lengthen your recovery period. This would be different if the facial procedure was a facelift or multiple face procedures that added hours to your surgery.

Body Lift can be combined with other procedures
Body lift can be combined with other procedures safely. Other frequently performed procedures in conjunction with a Body Lift are liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, arm reduction(Brachioplasty) and facial procedures. Additional procedures increase the amount of operating time necessary to complete the surgery and therefore require the appropriate facilities to accomplish safely.

Multiple procedures are safe if operating time is limited
It is ok to undergo multiple procedures at the same time if the operating time is kept at a minimum to avoid complications such as deep vein thrombosis. It depends on the surgeon and the different technique that may be used! Good luck!

Combined procedures
If you are having those minor procedurs with a body lift it should be okay as long as you are healthy and the body lift is done in a reasonable amount of time.

Multiple surgeries with bodylift
The most important consideration in your surgical outcome is safety. Generally speaking, I try to limit your anesthetic time to less than 6 hours to decrease your incidence of anesthesia related complications.
Prior to recommending what can be accomplished in a single procedure, I would recommend evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine how many hours of surgery are necessary and evaluation by your primary physician to medically determine how...
