What's the recovery time? Can it be done at the same time as a tummy tuck?
Yes, thighlift can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. There are a few types of thighlift, and recovery and scars can depend on the procedure that is right for you.
I see that you have seveal diffeent questions. I would recommend sending me photos of what you want improved and then I can answer and give you estimate.

The recovery time for the medial thigh lift is one to three weeks. I would consider to stage the procedures simply because a tummy tuck and medial thigh lift is a lot of surgery to recover from at the same time. It will be hard to move and too much bedrest after surgery is not good for circulation. However, it can be done at the same time
Hello again Mary Jo. No, Thigh Lift or Crural Pexy can not be performed in combination with a Tummy Tuck. Commonly Tummy Tuck is combined with Liposculpture in higher and lower back, and flanks to harmonize the body contour to the new abdomen and avoid a boxy shape, and BBL can also be added. But combining thigh lift with Tummy Tuck, is too much surgery for one surgical time. More risk of complication during and after surgery, I do not recommend it.

If all goes well, you should have no restrictions whatsoever after 6 weeks with a thigh lift and tummy tuck.
