Mommy Makeover: Q&A

Can I Get the Mommy Makeover and a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Same Procedure?

I am thinking about getting plastic surgery to give me my body back before I had 6 children. I am still a small framed woman 28years old and I weigh about 125 and am 5'6 in height. I definetly want the Mommy makeover but I'm also thinking about getting a nicer shaped butt. So,I was wondering if I could get both procedures at the same time or should I get one before the other with wait time in between.

Safety of combining a Brazilian Butt Lift with a Mommy Make Over

When you asked "CAN I Get the Mommy Makeover and a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Same Procedure?" - the simplistic answer would be - yes, you can. However, the real and more ethical answer would be - WHY would you do it and why would a Plastic surgeon put you through it? Surgical risk (death, fatal blood clots, infection etc) increases along with the duration of time in the OR. The longer the operation (or group of procedures), the higher the risk undertaken by the patient. The... more

I would say one side at a time!

Hello, If you are 5'6" and a 125 lbs you probably do not have enough fat to graft to the buttocks area to make a difference. You have to inject at least three times the amount of fat in this area to see any measurable improvement. Remember not all the fat cells will survive. In reading your question it seems like that you are more interested in improving the appearance of your breast and your abdomen.. If you do the breast augmentation w/ a lift and a abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)... more

Combination Mommy Makeover with Buttock Augmentation

At 5'6" and 125 lbs, my first concern is do you have enough fat to properly augment your buttocks. If you do have enough fat, I personally recommend a staged approach to this procedure. I want to maximize survival of your fat cells, by keeping you off your buttocks for 2 weeks. A tummy tuck patient usually has difficulty lying on their abdomen without putting harmful stress on the incision line. Therefore, my plan for you is... more

Mommy makeover and Brazilian buttock lift at the same time

This combination of procedures involves a breast surgery and tummy tuck (mommy makeover) with liposuction and fat transfer to the buttock area (Brazilian Buttock Lift). The duration of the surgery could be quite long depending on your surgeon, anywhere from 4-7 hours. You may want to have the breast portion performed at a separate time in the interest of safety. The longer the surgery, the higher the risk of developing a blood clot (DVT) in your legs becomes. I would discuss this... more

Mommy Makeover and Brazilian Buttlift

The mommy makeover typically entails breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I would advise performing the liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back with the fat transfer to the buttocks first. Then return 3 to 6 months later and perform the tummy tuck and breast augmentation. This will produce better results and will add a measure of safety.

Mommy Makeover

I like to have one done at a time so you can have a side to sleep on without pain. You should not be laying on your butt lift if there is fat transferred so one side at a time.

Mommy Makeover and Brazilian Butt Lift

To be clear, a mommy makeover is generally considered to be any combination of breast augmentation or breast lift and abdominal liposuction, tummy tuck, or both. Most patients undergoing a mommy makeover require a breast augmentation, often with a breast lift, and a tummy tuck. These procedures alone are quite extensive and require up to five or six hours of surgery. In my practice, I would not perform a Brazilian butt lift along with a breast augmentation/lift and tummy tuck... more

Mommy Makeover Safety?

Thank you for the question. I would not suggest elective surgery that lasts 7- 8 hours for a number of reasons related to safety and surgical outcome. I hope this helps.

Brazilian butt lift with mommy makeover

The short answer is absolutely. If you have a 'mommy makeover' then try to have gluteal augmentation at a later date then you will not likely have enough fat for a significant improvement. At the time of mommy makeover the fat that would have been thrown away can be useed to give you a nice full shaped gluteal area! I hope this helps! All the best, Rian A. Maercks M.D.

Mommy makeover combined with Brazilian Butt Lift

These procedures can definitely be performed at the same time and frequently are. The key is to keep the total anesthesia time at around five hours. It's a lot to recover from but it can be done if you are in excellent health and the surgery can be performed with optimal efficiency. All the best, Talmage J. Raine MD FACS

Do mommy makeover and butt lift separately.

Hi. I don't think it is safe to do all these procedures together. Two stages is inconvenient but much safer.

Combining surgeries

What patients want to hear: "Why yes, of course" The reality: increased anesthesia risk due to extended length of procedure - increased DVT risk due to length of procedure - Post-op positioning issues due to sitting in flexed position (required for tummy tuck), putting pressure on fat grafted area of buttocks, leading to re-absorption of fat and poor result in buttock contouring. Personally, I would not combine these two procedures, for these reasons. But... more

Mommy Makeover and Brazilian Butt Lift in one surgery

If one is in good health, a Brazilian Butt Lift (fat injection into the buttock) can be combined with a Mommy Makeover (tummy tuck and breast augmentation/lift). Although you are slim at 5'6" tall and 125 lbs, I have performed Brazilian Butt Lifts on patients your size with good results. One patient noted a very nice improvement with as little as 200 cc of fat injected into each buttock (400 cc total). Check with a Board Certified plastic surgeon in your... more

Butt lift and tummy tuck; you can't have it both ways.....

You are in a bit of a dilemma. I normally will not combine a tummy tuch with a butt lift. I do not like my patients to sit on their buttocks for a week post fat injection. After a tummy tuck you will have a hard time not sitting alot. You however are fairly thin; it certainly seems to be a waste of good fat to perfrom a tummy tuck and to discard the fat, then to perform the butt lift later. You could do the butt lift first, and use the fat from the... more

Hot Mommy, coming and going.

Who doesn't want to look good from both the front and the back? Naturally, everyone does and everyone would also like to accomplish this goal on one fell swoop. But the buttock surgery requires you lie on your stomach for a few days and the tummy tuck requires you to lie on your back. It is unwise to try to do that much at one time. Be smart! Break it up. The better results will be worth it.

Combining a Brazilian Butt Lift and a Mommy Makeover may be too much surgery

For a standard Brazilian Butt Lift and a full Mommy Makeover with a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation, I would recommend waiting at least 3 months in between procedures. It's a lot of surgery, and the recoveries will be easier.

Combined procedures

Multiple procedures can be safely performed in one setting. But it depends on your health status (past medical history), your anatomy, and the amount of surgery/type of procedures to be done. Also, you mentioned that you had a small frame. Remember, for a brazilian buttock augmentation, you need to have enough excess fat (in your flanks, hips, back, or tummy) to transfer to your buttocks. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for a formal evaluation. He/she... more

Mommy Makeover and a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Same Procedure?

Your question about having plastic surgery to get your body back is an excellent one. After childbirth, women often wish to have their figures back as they were before the affects of pregnancy. The combination of procedures which are performed to accomplish this are referred to as a "mommy makeover." You certainly can have liposuction and fat transfer to your buttocks done during this set of procedures safely. However, I would recommend that you find a surgeon whom you are... more

Mommy makeover with a Brazilian butt lift

The typical mommy makeover will involve tummy tuck, rejuvenation of the breast with breast implants and a lift if needed, and some liposuction of the thigh and hip. The fat needed for a butt lift may increase the time and extent of surgery such that the envelop is pushed past the point of safety. We suggest you stage your procedures to make the experience a safe and good one. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Can I Get the Mommy Makeover and a Brazilian Butt Lift in the Same Procedure?

The easy answer is YES, but over the internet without a physical examination, a detailed history, photos it is very hard to be perfectly honest if it is possible. Like, which type of operations for your buttock - implants, fat grafts, combination? Than which type of TT is needed. So you can understand that you MUST see a few boarded surgeons to advise you as to the safest options for you. From MIAMI

Mommy Makeover and Brazilian Butt Lift

Multiple procedures can usually be safely performed at the same time. However, it all depends on the patient, their anatomy, the procedures that they want to have done, the recovery facility and resources and the patient's expectation for recovery time. Mommy makeover usually consists of breast lift and or implants and a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. Patients also generally have liposuction at the same time. Adding the Brazilian Butt Lift may be possible, but,... more

Brazilian Butt Lift and Mommy MakeOver.......

The Brazilian Butt Lift can be performed along with Mommy Makeover. By Mommy Makeover, I assume you mean Tummy Tuck with Breast Implants and or Lift (if needed). There is no question, that would be a LOT of surgery to have done all at once. I don't know if you are a candidate for any or all of these procedures, and you would have to be in perfect health for me to even consider this. My main concern in your case is, I doubt you have much fat to transfer to your buttocks at your height and... more

Mommy makeover - abdominoplasty

By mommy makeover I assume you mean a tummy tuck and by Brazilian butt lift I assume you mean fat grafting to the buttocks for buttock augmentation. These procedures are frequently performed together. However, that does not mean they can be performed on you. Without a photo or face to face examination it is impossible to know if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Given your height weight ratio I doubt you will have sufficient fat available to augment the buttock area but you may be... more

Mommy makeover

The Mommy make over can be done. The Buttock enhancement depend on how much fat and where is that fat to do the liposuction to transfer. your other option is doing dermis fat graft which is taken from the tummy tuck to use to enhance the buttocks.
