Mastectomy, Breast Reconstruction with Tummy Tuck?

prettymongoose
I'm a BRCA positive 40 year-old in excellent health, normal weight. I'm having a prophylactic mastectomy with immediate, 'one-step' reconstruction (using Alloderm and silicone implants). Could I have a tummy tuck at the same time? I have lumpy results from a previous abdominal liposcution and a nasty appendectomy scar I'd love to be rid of!
