Full Tummy Tuck and Arm Lift wanted. Is it possible to do both procedures together?

This sounds like a reasonable request.  Depending on the area to be treated, the size of the area, the amount of tissue to be removed, the amount of separation between the two areas in order to preserve the blood supply to both and maximize the wound healing potential, your general health, the amount of time each procedure will take, and the experience of the surgeon with combination procedures, it is possible to have more than one operation at the same time.  The surgeon will need to discuss all of these issues with you and make a safe plan that will give you a well thought out, well executed operation with an excellent outcome.

Thank you for your question. If you are in good health and your BMI is under 30, typically, these procedures can be done at the same time. However, this is best to be answered by your board certified plastic surgeon during a consultation who is comfortable and experienced performing multiple procedures at once. 

In most cases, this combination of surgeries can be performed together very safely. There are many variables that may lead the surgeon to be more or less enthusiastic about the combination procedures. You need to see a board-certified plastic surgeon, as you say, experienced in these procedures, for an evaluation to see if this is the right way to proceed for you.

These procedures can be combined if:1- you are generally healthy and can tolerate a long procedure2- you spend the night in the hospital3- neither area is complicated or excessively severe in nature requiring a longer intervention

Always visit with a surgeon certified by the American Board of plastic surgery.Best of luck!

These procedures can be combined provided you are healthy enough and prepared for the recovery. I encourage you to ask very specific questions regarding post procedure care to make sure you have a good understanding of what your limitations will be during recovery.
