Combining Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Implants?

I often perform the brazilian butt lift combined with a tummy tuck, but in most cases, I do not recommend combining the brazilian butt lift with a breast augmentation. The brazilian butt lift recovery requires you to lay on your stomach. While that is ok for the tummy tuck recovery, it is not ok if you have just received breast implants. Laying on your breasts immediately following the breast augmentation can cause problems. see video

Hi there- Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Enhancement procedures can certainly be performed at the same time, but great care needs to be exercised in the performance, in order to prevent the positioning for one to compromise the outcome of the other. In other words, while doing the breast surgery, you will need to be on your back- if you have just had your buttock grafted, this is a problem unless special positioning precautions are taken. Conversely, if the breasts are done first, and you... more

Although many surgeons do combination procedures to reduce the need for multiple stages and keep the time off from work to a minimum, one needs to consider the risks of anesthesia for long surgeries that will rise dramatically beyond 6 hours. Also, particularly with breast implants, when considering the risks of infection around foreign body implants, be very careful the combination does not increase the risk of this complication. Please respect your surgeon's warning if he recommends that... more

Yes this can be performed and this has been discussed elsewhere on Realself. Many physicians object because in the process for breast augmentation many paitents recover on their back which places pressure on the buttock region and may compromise the survival of the fat grafts.

Breast reduction and “butt lift, or lower body lift are both fairly extensive surgeries on their own. Both can be performed alone as same day, outpatient procedures but are more often performed with overnight observation. In healthy patients, it would be safe to combine the two procedures. In that case, however, the surgery definitely should be performed in a hospital setting with overnight observation.

While it is possible to perform a brazilian butt lift and breast augmentation during the same procedure, I usually do not combine these procedures into the same operation.  Even though patients often ask for these procedures to be performed in the same setting, positioning during these two surgeries is quite different and could possibly compromise the outcome of the other if performed at the same time.  For example, for breast augmentation, patients must be positioned on their... more

A Brazilian Butt Lift (as long as it is not overly extensive) can be combined successfully with breast augmentation.  In face, this is a commonly requested variation of the mommy makeover.

The combination of a Brazilian Butt lift and a breast augmentation can be performed successfully at the same time. For the patients in our practice who have received this combination, preoperative planning is crucial. It is extremely important to discuss with your plastic surgeon the size of the breast augmentation and the size and shape of your buttocks that you like to achieve. Photographs and digital morphing are essential in this planning. Also it is important in mind that... more

Both can certainly be done at the same time. The Brazilian butt lift uses harvested fat cells from your own body to augment the buttock region. To have both done at the same time would save an additional anesthesia and the two together should be able to be performed in a reasonable amount of time..

First off, it is not actually a lift but an augmentation with your own fat cells which are obtained by liposuction at the same time . When you add breast augmentation you will then be having 3 operations simultaneously . This is a great combination to restore the female " hourglass" and is commonly done ,but it may take up to four hours. Check with a board certified Plastic Surgeon about the particulars.

As with any procedure, we would need to evaluate you to make sure you're a good candidate, but in general the Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation can be performed together, You'll need a bit more time for the recovery (usually 7-10 days or so) so plan on taking it easy after the procedure. Good luck! Dr. S
