Is It okay to get a brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck at the same time?

Yes. Combining procedures is more beneficial to you in the sense that you will not have to go through recovery twice for two different procedures. It is also cost efficient because you don’t have to pay for the operating room twice. Also, more fat can be harvested and used by combining the procedures. Fat from the abdomen can be liposuctioned from the area where the tummy tuck is planned and used for the buttock augmentation.
The one concern you should have is to make sure you are going to a qualified surgeon that has the experience and expertise in your procedures of interest.

This is a very common
question in my practice. It is hard for
most patients to take too much time of work and they want to make the most of
their time off. They also just want to
get everything done at one time.



When I practiced in Miami, I
would call this the Miami Makeover. I
would typically make patients do the there surgeries at separate times for
several reasons.



I
limit my surgeries to about five hours as it decreases the risks of surgery

I do
not let patients sit for two week after their Brazilian Butt lift to protect
the fat that has been transferred.

When
I do the tummy tuck I make their abdominal area as tight and flat as possible,
the combination of this and the butt augmentation would not give patients a comfortable
position for the first couple of week post-op.




I hope this helps, discuss it
with your board certified plastic surgeon. 

Combining the two procedures is not my preference. The main challenge is that after a tummy tuck, you cannot lie flat on your stomach, which is required after a BBL to prevent pressure on the newly transferred fat. This can complicate recovery positioning. It is technically possible to do both, but I do not think this will yield the best results. It's essential to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to assess your suitability for combined surgery and ensure you understand the recovery process.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to get a bbl and tummy tuck done at the same time. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

 

Thanks for the question. Based on your complaints you will need a BBL and tummy tuck at the same time. But first of all you need to lose some more kilos. After you lose kilos, you should meeting with a Board Certified Surgeon and planning the process. After planning, everything will be better. I wish you all the best.
 

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Yes, these two procedures can be performed together provided the patient is in good overall health.

A BBL can take up to 4 hours to perform. In addition to this, the requirements to avoid sitting and restricted sleeping positions make it highly undesirable to have any other surgical procedures at the same time as your BBL. Doing so signficantly increases the risks of potential complications and compromises the potential results of your BBL and the associated other procedure.  Therefore, I do not recommend performing any other operation at the same time as your BBL.  

Thank you for your question!  I would absolutely suggest getting both done at the same time.  Just make sure the doctor you choose does both procedures combined routinely and is comfortable doing so.  Also you are under anesthesia only once!

Thank you for the question.It is possible to perform these procedures at the same time, and there are surgeons who feel comfortable doing this combination of surgery.In my office I separate these procedures and do not perform them together. Recovery from a BBL requires that you take pressure off of the buttocks, so that the fat has the best chance of survival. A tummy tuck, requires that patients stay in a slightly bent position while the recover. Over 1-2 weeks, a tummy tuck patient will begin to walk more upright. It can be difficult to relieve pressure on the buttocks, while also recovering from a tummy tuck surgery. Also, the combination of procedures increases the possibility of having a complication.The most important thing when considering combination procedures is the comfort level of your board-certified plastic surgeon. Each surgeon has their own preferences. Good luck with the process!

I truly believe that what you want to do in relation to your procedures, as to whether they will be combined, should be your decision in the end. Make the research and evaluation of board-certified surgeons, and you should be able to find one in your area who will combine the two procedures for you so that you are able to compile your schedule as you would like to do.
