LBL & Inner thigh lift at same time?

I'm going to need a TT, a butt lift and an inner thigh lift.  My outer thighs are actually okay, so I'm not sure if I'd need/go for the entire LBL or not.  I was thinking I could get my bottom half done all at once and then my boobs (and maybe arms) done later.  I'm just wondering if anyone had thier inner thighs done with an LBL or if that's too much surgery all at once.

Yes, I know that it may very well depend on the surgeon, but I thought I'd see what you guys had to say, too.

(I am only about 10 months post-op and seem to still be losing below goal.  I will be at a stable weight for several months before I start looking at setting up consults.)

Thanks for your input!

I had multiple procedures done at between two surgeries.  You can see my siggy for what I did when.  My ps specifically told me he would not do an LBL and medial thigh lift at the same time.  His explanation was that once he does the lbl, which involves flipping you in surgery.  He would then have to reposition your legs again to spread them (yeah, nice image huh?)  He doesn't prefer to do that much repositioning. 

The other factor is the time under anesthesia.  An LBL is a fairly long procedure and so is the thigh lift.  Since he is the only surgeon he doesn't want to keep his patients under longer than 7-8 hours.  Each of my procedures were around 7 hours or so.

There are some surgeons will do it, especially if they have a team of surgeons working with them.  Mine works alone.

My surgeon was the same way, wouldn't do the LBL w/ the thighs. I went w/ the LBL and arms at the same time and then the thighs and boobs together. He also wouldn't do my BL/BA w/ my LBL b/c it was too long under anesthesia.

Same thing here. Arms and LBL then breast lift and thighs. Not only for the reasons lifsted by the girls above but having had both of these surgeries myself, having them at the same time together would be a very, very rough recovery. Even if a surgeon would do these two together, I would not opt to go that way. Just my opinion though. Best to you in your decision and on your journey. God bless you.
