Yes, but....: Patient safety is the most important part of any surgical plan. Your health, the extent of your surgery and expectations must all be taken into consideration. Combining procedures can offer the benefits of a single recovery period. The downside is you have to recover both areas at once.

Yes: You should be able to go through both procedures unless the doctor feels you are a health risk. However keep in mind that there is a slight increase in risk with each additional surgical procedure.

See below: Yes you could - but you do need to be careful of the total body removal of tissue at one time.
