Is It Ok to Get a Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck at the Same Time?

I would like to get a tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift at the same time. Is this possible? I only have 2 weeks off, and I weigh 135 and is 5'4", in ok shape. I just want a flat stomach and round-shaped butt.

I would not do a tummy tuck and buttock lift at the same operation

Dear littlelesr, I understand your desire to accomplish as much as possible during one operation. However, my main concern is that your recovery will be quite difficult after having surgery on both the front and back of your body. After a buttock lift you will need to sleep and rest on your side or tummy. That would be difficult if you have also had a tummy tuck. Studies have shown that as you increase the number of operations done at one setting, the incidence of complications goes up. I do... more

Would not recommend Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck at the same time

Littlelesr, I would not recommend getting these two procedures done at the same time for several reasons: 1. Extensive liposuction is required for a Brazilian Butt Lift. This could diminish the circulation to critical areas that a successful tummy tuck relay on. 2. The final positions for a tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt lift are completely different. The final position in a tummy tuck is a sitting position with knees bent. This helps the circulation to the incision but you... more

Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck at the Same Time

Here is a quick risk-benefit breakdown: Benefit of Combining Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck: 1. One operative time and one time under general anesthesia 2.

Brazilian Butt Lift & Tummy Tuck at the Same Time

Combining procedures into one surgery is very common, especially with a Brazilian Butt Lift and a tummy tuck. A Brazilian Butt Lift is performed by extracting fat from donor sites utilizing liposuction and meticulously injecting them into the layer of fat in the buttocks to achieve a smooth result. Since liposuction is often performed alongside a tummy tuck to achieve the desired result, it is likely that performing the procedures together is your best option. Ofcourse, each patient... more

Comining the your Brazilian Butt Lift and your Tummy Tuck

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... more

Brazilian Butt Lift, abdominoplasty combination

Hi Littlelesr, I have performed this combination many times. It does make recovery a little harder though, and there is an increased risks of complications, but fortunately, these are still pretty rare. When I do a Brazilian, I recommend you lay on your stomach or sides. When you have a tummy tuck, you can't safely lay on your stomach. Therefore, you are left with your left side or right side or standing. You will definitely need some help for about the first week. It's tough, but I have... more

Absolutely

Hi there- The two procedures you're asking about can, in fact be performed together. It may be difficult to do so safely, however, as immediately after a tummy tuck it is ill-advised to lie flat on your stomach, and performing your Brazilian Butt Lift requires it, it is usually better to stage them. Doing them in the opposite order also presents problems, as after your Buttock Augmentation it is not recommended that you lie flat on your back or sit on your new buttocks for some time. So, to... more

BBL - Tummy Tuck Combination

A brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck can certainly be done at the same time. But there are some concerns. When I have done these in the past, I performed liposuction of selected areas first. The fat was then processed and injected into the buttocks. The tummy tuck was then performed at the end of the procedure. What I found is that while the patient was undergoing the tummy tuck portion, she was laying directly on her buttocks. This caused some flattening and loss of projection of the... more

Tummy tuck and buttock augmentation at same time

As long as you are in good health, it is possible to have a Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to buttock) and a tummy tuck at the same time. You may need medical clearance from your primary care physician prior to surgery. The fatty tissue that will be taken from your abdomen during the tummy tuck can be used to augment your buttock. Patients must avoid sitting directly on their buttock for about two weeks after surgery to increase the survival of the fat cells in the buttock... more

Do Brazilian Butt Lift first, tummy tuck second!

This is a very common question!. I have many patients who have received this combination, but they did these surgeries separately. They first received thorough liposuction of the abdomen hips waist back thighs and trunk and then received selective fat grafting to the buttock region. They then recovered from the Brazilian Butt lift. After this procedure they lost a great deal of fat from the abdomen hips and waist and truly enjoyed their new curves. However because of the aggressive... more
