Be careful with this combination of surgeries!
As you know, a successful surgical result truly depends on the technique that was used in the postoperative care. Be very careful and think twice before undergoing this combination of procedures. It will be difficult to properly care for yourself after this combination. To get a great result, many of our tummy tuck patients have to remain flexed after their surgery. They sleep with pillows behind their back or in an easy chair. This is exactly the opposite position that a patient...

Positioning after multiple surgeries
Agree about risks of multiple procedures.
Even if you were "only" doing Brazilian Butt lift and breast augmentation, these two require positioning that is mutually exclusive.
If you lay on your stomach to protect the Butt lift, you are interfering with the proper settling in of the breast implants. If you lay on your back to protect the breast implants you are endangering the tender and delicate fat grafts in the butt.
Given the procedures you list, independent of the...

Brazilian butt lift results compromised by multiple procedure
Mulitple procedure done at the same time with a Brazilian butt lift will compromise your final results.
In my practice, I perform butt reshaping very frequently. To answer your question in regard to having multiple procedures done at the same time, including a tummy tuck, you have to understand what involves the postoperative recovery of the fat transfer procedure to the buttock area and what the procedure is about. The fact is that as much fat as possible is needed to reshape the...

Beware of combination plastic surgery
The combination of procedures that you list is not recommended. After fat grafting to the buttock, it is recommended that you keep pressure off of the treated area for several days. After a tummy tuck, it difficult to lie flat in bed. After an augmentation, its unwise to lie on your stomach.

Will be difficult
First of all, make sure that you are not doing too much surgery at one time. It is nice to try to get everything done at one surgery, but it may be too much stress on your body or make your recovery too uncomfortable. In most cases, however, you should be fine. Just make sure that you have a comfortable bed and or chair with lots of pillows for positioning. Also make sure you have someone that can help you for the first few days after surgery since it may be difficult to move on your own.

No comfortable position for recovery when multiple surgeries are performed
Good question to ask your surgeon. There are some that would dissuade you from performing all of these together. But It is likely that your surgeon has performed this combination before.
IT may be recommendedt for you to get some kind of supportive surface at the very least such as an egg crate mattress, etc There is controversy as to whether you shoudl lay on your back after Brazilian Buitt lift but, in all reality, that is where you will end up..

Best position after multiple procedures
Hi there-
I'm not sure I would recommend the combination you are contemplating- most importantly because the appropriate positioning for recovery from one procedure may complicate your recovery from the other.
I would not want you lying on your back after a Brazilian Butt Lift, and I would definitely not want you on your side or abdomen after breast augmentation.
If I were you I would ask my surgeon how they would recommend you position yourself after surgery.

Postop Positioning
Laying on your back with some pillows under your knees and thighs and pillows behind your back.
I would however discuss this with your plastic surgeon. And please make sure that you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for all that surgery you are having done.
Good luck.

Multiple procedures an post-op positioning
This is a question that you should ask your operating surgeon. But, if you were my patient I would have you in a "lazy-boy" chair position with your abdomen flexed a bit.

Multiple surgeries
Hi,
Please think very carefully about having so much surgery done at once. This subjects your body to a significant amount of stress and your recovery will be prolonged. Cosmetic surgery is elective, and the most important thing is your safety. Be sure that you understand the risks you are incurring, and that these have been explained to you fully. Best wishes, /nsn.
