Is it safe to have liposuction and a breast augmentation done at the same time?

Ariel1121
I am getting a breast augmentation done in March and was interested in getting liposuction as well. Upon researching it seems it is safer to preform liposuction under local anaesthesia as opposed to general, why is this and will the general anaesthesia from the breast augmentation cause a higher risk when the liposuction is performed? Also which procedure would be done first?
