Is it ok to get a Brazilian Butt lift and Tummy tuck at the same time?

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... more

I have done this many times. Each time requires a careful discussion with the patient for the following reasons: 1. For the Brazilian Butt Lift it is imperative you avoid pressure to the buttocks to ensure fat graft survival. Therefore, most of your rest time is on your stomach.  2. For the Tummy Tuck,... more

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.

It may be best to do these procedures separately. One reason is that you may not able to achieve optimal results since the positions you are instructed to sit/lay in during your recovery are different for the two procedures. For the Brazilian Butt Lift, patients are advised to lay on their stomach and sides,... more

Quite frequently when I perform a tummy tuck, I also do liposuction of the entire mid-section. This provide a great source of fat to graft to the buttock. I typical get about 4000cc from the liposuction and once the fat is prepare I will have around 500cc of pure fat to inject in to each side of the... more
