LBL and extended thigh at same time? Is it common to combine these procedures?

Yes, these can be performed together! An experienced surgeon is enough to complete the surgery in a timely fashion and avoid long anesthesia complications. Also as a patient you have to be motivated to follow directions to prevent complications.

The practicality and financial savings from combining procedures must be carefully weighed against the risk of deep vein thrombosis, pressure sores, nerve injuries, blood loss and hypothermia from a prolonged operation. Importantly, combining a lower body lift with a thigh lift will mean your two most important muscle groups- your abdominal core and your thighs- will be wrapped in sore wounds! I would only entertain combining these procedures in patients with amazing pain thresholds. The final thing to consider is surgeon fatigue. Surgeons get tired too- the last stitch in a ten hour operation is never as good as the first.
