Tummy tuck before BBL

This is a great question. I have experience with this scenario. I would recommend having a tummy tuck done first to remove the extra skin, and then a BBL 3-4 months later.

By Board of Medicine rule any combination of surgeries, in your case full TT with Liposuction and BBL, limits the total volume of lipoed fat to 1 liter (ONLY) removed. So the amount of possible transferrable fat is... more

Thank you for your response but didn't answer my question. I want to know whether I should get a TT first or a BBL then later a TT. I just dont want to lose the fat I can use in my stomoch if I do the TT 1st.
