+1 My long recovery from an emergency c-section + multiple large fibroids myomectomy all together surgery was way more "brutal" than my hysterectomy. I wouldn't get a tummy tuck at the same time though.

Hysterectomy recovery isn't "brutal" if you have it done laprascopically. It's not "fun" -- but definitely not "brutal". It was better than recovering from normal childbirth.

I have heard of someone (amalah) who got a tummy tuck at the same time as fixing an umbilical hernia, fwiw...

The lady who cleans my house had both, but at separate times. She had to wait a full year after the hysterectomy to get the TT. Doc said too much at once. FWIW, both recoveries where brutal for her and I mean BRUTAL.

I asked about the possibility of an oophorectomy with my c-section, and my ob said that would be too much at one time and wouldn't be done. Don't know about your situation, but it might be a similar situation.

That sounds like it would be a brutal surgery. Not sure if a reputable plastic surgeon would go for it.
