Getting a BBL, I Don't Want to Have to Have a Tummy Tuck with It. What Should I Do?

What would i need to do to keep from having the loose skin and need the Tummy Tuck.

BBL does NOT lead to needing a Tummy Tuck

Respectfully your question suggests you do not fully understand how liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck Surgery overlap. First - No one EVER "NEEDS" ANY cosmetic procedure.While a woman with advanced breast cancer or someone with a gunshot to the chest NEED prompt surgical intervention, Cosmetic Surgery falls more into the "I WANT" column than the "I NEED" column. Second - for truly great looking and lasting results the woman's weight should be stable and ideally at a... more

Harvesting fat from your abdomen for your Brazilian butt lift does not necessarily require a tummy tuck. Here, it would be helpful if you had included a picture, also your age, how many children you have had, what was your highest weight. All the above factors plus the laxity of your skin will determine if you need a tummy tuck.

Abdominoplasty concerns

If you have loose abdominal skin, then you will need a tummy tuck. The scar, which you categorize as unattractive, is largely hidden by pubic hair. Remember that most of the scars you see online are fresh ones and that the scarring goes on to fade quite nicely by the end of a year.

Tummy Tuck and BBL

Dear E, Whether you need a tummy tuck or not after, or with your BBL, depends on several factors, only one of which is the amount of fat to be removed from your abdomen. The elasticity of your skin and the position and tone of your muscles will also determine if you need a tummy tuck. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will provide you with the options and guidance that you need. Good luck! see video

Staging surgery.

I would recommend weight loss prior to an abdominoplasty to a BMI of 30. The BBL can be performed prior to this weight loss. Staging both procedures will also be safer and provide a more comfortable recovery.
