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.

Answer: Multiple surgeries The simple answer to your question is Yes but it depends on who is performing the operation. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, there are 2 board certified Plastic Surgeons that evaluate and operate on you enabling you to have 2 different body parts operated on SAFELY in one setting. I highly recommend that you seek out a team to perform your surgery so that you dont have to undergo multiple operations and that you can safely have an excellent result in one sitting.

Answer: Combined procedures Combining a thigh lift and a tummy tuck is a rather long surgery and most surgeons would advise separating these into two stages for safety reasons. The risk of developing a blood clot in the legs (DVT) is higher with a longer surgery, especially one involving a tummy tuck. Also, the skin in the groin region would be pulled in two slightly different directions if combined which could compromise the blood supply. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person to find out which is the safest approach in your specific situation.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
