Minor Fat Removal Without Lipo During Breast Augmentation?

Can I have small amounts of fat removed from my tummy and love handles during my breast implant surgery without having Liposuction? I have considered the Brazilian Butt Lift to avoid Liposuction and add a little volume to my buttocks. In my research, the procedure is far less invasive than Lipo, which is extremely important in my decision. I am also having trouble finding a surgeon I like that does both. Any advice?

Removing fat without liposuction and breast implant augmentation

The ONLY way described to achieve the Brazilian Butt lift is to remove the fat WITH LIPOSUCTION and then to transfer to to the buttocks. If this is acceptable to you liposuction with fat transfer to the butt and breast implants can be achieved simultaneously.

Fat removal without liposuction during breast augmentation

BBL will not solve your problem

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is not a substitute for removing fat from your abdomen. The BBL will alter the shape of your derriere which may mask the faults in your love handles. The BBL however will not address your abdomen at all. Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures performed My advice would be to consider combining the two (breast augmentation and lipo). Patients will frequently add liposuction of the abdomen and love handles at the same time as their breast... more

Fat Removal WIthout Liposuction

Your desire to have a trimmer abdomen at the same time that you are having a breast augmentation is very common. I just finished an exam on a patient with that same request, and see it all the time. It is part of what we consider a "Mommy Makeover". Unfortunately, there ae only four ways to do it: 1) Diet 2) Exercise 3) Liposuction 4) Tummy Tuck We do not have an FDA approved external ultrasound device that works yet and Lippodissolve has not panned out with the test of time.... more
