Is it best to have tummy tuck and breast lift surgery separately or at the same time?

natureBec
I am in need of a breast lift ( I'm a size D) and a full tummy tuck. My concern is since they are done together, I will be put under for a long time (6 + hrs) and that is close to the limit of 7 hours because of potential risks. Would it be better to separate them for less time under anesthesia and also for a better, more detailed job? Also, do doctors perform lipo on belly during a tummy tuck? I'm not excessively overweight; I just gained all my weight only in belly. Thanks for your professional opinion!
