Yes. Combination is routinely done and safe with the right team. Gyn handles the minimally invasive hysterectomy first, plastics does the tummy tuck under the same anesthetic. One recovery instead of two, exactly what you're after. The catch is the operation runs longer than either piece...

Dear Polite, As you can see from the attached photo, an extended tummy tuck with 360 liposuction is an excellent option for you. The hour glass figure is only possible if your native anatomy allows it, and will be revealed when the muscles are repaired. A flat contour in the upper abdomen...
