Can I do a tummy tuck and thigh lift at the same time? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.  This can be done through a low and short
incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen.  A thigh lift is certainly possible at the same time as a tummy tuck, but I would need to evaluate your thighs in person in order to determine the degree of laxity to see if a thigh lift would be the best option for you. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

These procedures are commonly performed together.  As long as you are in good physical health and have no overriding medical issues, you should be a good candidate. Thigh lift is a very satisfying procedure for me and my patients alike.  There is no question that the thigh lift is a very worthwhile procedure in a patient who has skin laxity.Tummy tuck and an extended thigh lift usually take at least 6 weeks to heal.  It is not uncommon to have prolonged wound healing with an extended thigh lift even in the fittest of patients with optimal nutrition and no health problems.Set up a virtual consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has ELITE credentials, favorable patient reviews, loads of before and after photos on his or her website, and performs hundreds of these surgeries annually.  You would need to be examined to determine the extent of surgery required.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
