I have lost a lot of weight with diet and exercise, but am left with a lot of loose skin. I have previously had a breast lift and and arm lift done, but now I would like to finish my journey and get a thigh lift and tummy tuck. I really want to get them done at the same time. Is this safe to do? I see some doctors will do it and some won't and am not sure why. Please give me your thoughts regarding these two surgeries.
