If I Get BBL Surgery Do I Still Need a Tummy Tuck? (photo)

I am interested in getting the brazilian butt lift surgery and possibly a mommy makeover. If I get the bbl surgery will i need a tummy tuck? If so am I a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck? How big can I go with the bbl surgery?

Brazilian booty vs tummy tuck

You are an excellent candidate for a BBL. After you get the butt shaped the way that you want, you will need a tummy tuck. With the laxity and excess skin of your abdomen a mini tummy tuck won't do you justice. To get the awesome results you deserve, get the BBL and then a full tummy tuck. Good Luck and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Anire Okpaku MD

Brazilian Butt Lift With a Tummy Tuck

The Brazilian Butt Lift begins with the strategic removal of fat from the flanks, back and sometimes the upper thighs. This process allows the surgeon to contour a beautiful silhouette and frame the buttocks. The fat is then injected into the superior part of the buttocks to give it lift and a higher profile. Based on your picture you are a good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is possible to remove some belly fat during this procedure, but you may still need a tummy tuck afterwards... more

Buttock Augmentation with Mommy Makeover

I would suggest having the buttock augmentation first and then consider a full/mini tummy tuck. I would NOT recommend doing both procedures at once because there isn't a comfortable position for you to be in while you recover. Your skin seems to be in good condition so you may not even need a full/mini tummy tuck after your buttock augmentation. There really isn't a good way to determine this until you have recovered from your brazilian buttock lift. Looking at your pictures, you look as if... more

Mommy makeover and Brazilian Butt Lift (fat grafting).

If you have decided on Brazilian Butt Lift (buttocks augmentation via fat grafting), you will need donor fat to accomplish the job. This can be combined with abdominal surgery at the same operative setting, but if additional fat is needed for further buttock augmentation (not ALL the fat survives, and secondary procedure(s) are often needed), you don't want your donor site (abdomen is most common) to have been removed (abdominoplasty or mini tuck) or even liposuctioned. You still need that... more

Abdominal result after Brazilian Butt Lift can be variable

Hi there- While it looks in your photos like you have experienced some stretching of the skin, and possibly of the underlying muscle layer as well, you by no means look like you have a protuberant abdomen. I would therefore be inclined to suggest that you proceed with you BBL first- in my experience it is sometimes difficult to predict how much abdominal improvement will be seen after a suitable healing period. It's possible that after a well-done BBL you are very happy with your... more

Do I Need A Tummy Tuck With My Butt Lift

Thanks for the photos; they really do help us to answer your questions. It appears that you have laxity with excess skin and stretch marks in both the upper and lower abdomen. These are problems that cannot be corrected with a mini-tuck which primarily addresses issues in the lower abdomen. Of course, the only way to be precise in what would work best for you is to have an examination with a board certified plastic surgeon. From your photos, it appears that... more

Liposuction & butt lift vs tummy tuck

The essence of the question is whether liposuction alone or in combination with a mini tummy tuck will be sufficient to address your abdominal contour concerns or whether a full tummy tuck would be a better option. To answer this, a physical exam would reveal the extent of skin laxity and the tightness of your abominal fascia & muscle. Based on the photo, I see a moderate amount of skin laxity. But I would not be able to assess the underlying muscles... more

Brazilian Butt lift

You have very little fat to transfer to the buttocks and make a difference. since you want a tummy tuck then recommend doing the tummy tuck and using the excised skin and fat as a dermis fat graft to the buttocks for buttock enhancement.
