Tummy Tuck & Brazilian Butt Lift Performed in One Surgery. What is the Order?
When getting a TT and a BBL in the same surgery which procedure is performed first? If BBL is performed first will this jeopardize the results while laying on your back/butt while the TT is being performed? I would like to know the order of this combination of surgery. Thank you

CAN A BRAZILAN BUTT LIFT AND TUMMY TUCK BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME
While it is easier to recover with doing each separately, it can be performed and many patients who are good candidates do real well with having had both done. I have many out of town patients how do this combination in particular because they want to limit their flying back and forth for multiple procedures. As long as your skin and fat anatomy is acceptable and safe enough to perform both, then your results will be dramatic and occur with just one surgery. This is very appealing to...

Brazilian Butt Lift requires harvesting fat from some part of the body that will
provide enought fat to get a great result. If fat is to be obtained from the abdomen,
it could very well create healing problems with a tummy tuck-serious healing problems.
If there is enough fat in other parts of the body, it would be possible. If that's the case,
I would do the liposuction and butt lift first, since the tummy tuck does require flexing
the waist to get...

Order of the Procedures in a Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift
There is not "ONE" order of how to proceed with this combination of procedures. Every patient is unique and her surgery has to be planned to fit her unique issues.
If the patient has enough fatty tissue for harvest in her flanks and perhaps outer thighs, the patient would start in the prone position(face down) and then be turned into the supine(face-up) position for completion on the tummy tuck.
However, if the patient does not have enough fatty tissue for harvest on...

Brazilian Butt Lift with Tummy Tuck. Can they be done together and in what order?
I have performed the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure and Tummy Tuck together many times with beautiful results. There has been no compromise to the results of either procedure. However, there are increased risks when combining other procedures with Tummy Tucks and additional precautions need to be taken. The main benefit of having these procedures performed together is less overall down time.
When I combine these procedures, I usually perform liposuction of the...

Tummy Tuck & Brazilian Butt Lift
While the order will be determined based on your surgeon's preferences and the area from which the fat will be used, my typical order is butt lift first followed by the tummy tuck. Consult in person with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to explore your options, and to determine if the combination is in your best interests.

Order of surgery with multiple procedures
The surgical order when a patient is undergoing multiple procedures is dependent on surgeon preference to some extent as well as what part of the body the fat is being harvested from for the Brazilian butt lift. Alot of thought goes into positioning of the patient for safety as well as most expeditious way for surgery to be performed in order to limit anesthesia time.

Tummy Tuck and Butt Lift
Hello,
Yes we do offer our patients simultaneous tummy tucks and buttock contouring procedures so long as they are healthy, self motivated with realistic goals and expectations.
Technically, the procedures can be performed in either order; however, we generally would perform the buttock procedure first for access reasons because once the tummy tuck is performed the patient has to be flexed in the jack knife position which would make it difficult to then turn the...

Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck.
I usually do not perform those two surgeries together. The reason is because during the usual recovery from a tummy tuck there is plenty of time spent sitting on the buttucks, which may harm healing the grafted fat. After my Brazilian butt lift I ask the patient to spend as much time as possible OFF their buttucks, which may be difficult after a tummy tuck as well. As my esteems colleagues have stated, these two procedures can be combined and performed safely together. I personally prefer to...

Tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift can be done at the same time, answer by a brazilian-american board certified plastic surgeon
You had many excellent comments from my colleagues below. Make sure when you have a consultation patient safety issues are addressed to you in detail. The procedures can be combined as long as you meet safety criteria well established by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. I am a native Brazilian trained in the US and practice in Park City and Salt Lake City. I have stayed very much in touch with the excellent Brazilian Body Contouring Surgery Techniques during all my professional...

Tummy Tuck Brazilian Butt Lift combination
I would start with the liposuction harvest of the lower abdomenal fat first. Then the tummy tuck resection, then the fat transfer to the buttocks after turning the patient prone. Additional shaping of the lower back an waist can be done in the prone position as well. Care must be taken to keep the hips flexed to avoid undue tension across the abdomenal closure. I agree with the other respondents that turning the patient should be kept to a minimum.

Combining BBL and Tummy Tuck
Dear Optimistic,
It is not uncommon to combine BBL and abdominoplasty surgery. The order of procedures probably does not make that much difference. However, if the abdominal fat is to be used for the BBL, then you would need to be turned twice during the procedure. That would create a very awkward and potentially more dangerous situation. For that reason, I always perform the abdominal liposuction first, then the tummy tuck, followed by a careful turning of...

Combination tummy tuck (abdominopasty) and Braziliam butt lift
These two procedures can easily be performed together (there are really three procedures since one part of the Brazilian butt lift is liposuction for fat harvest).
In my practice I perform liposuction and abdominoplasty first. While finishing the abdominoplasty the OR staff is busy preparing the fat for re-injection into the buttocks.
For optimum fat survival we use adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) from the patient. These cells activate the fat and...

Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift: Order of Surgical Procedure
A patient can undergo an abdominoplasty and Brazilian butt lift (BBL) in the same surgery if a good surgical candidate. If the goal is to transfer only fat from the back, for example the love handles, then I have the patient in the prone (on tummy, face down) after they get general anesthesia. The liposuction and fat transfer to buttocks is then done. The patient is then turned to supine position (face up) in order to perform the tummy tuck - this usually requires the...

In performing a TT and BBL simaultaneously, in what oder are the procedures done?
In our office a TT an d BBL are often performed together. I perform the BBL first because I don"t want to disrupt any suturing done in the TT. Also after the TT I want the patient to be in the flexed postion. I don't believe that lying on the buttocks for 2-3 hours doing the TT will have much effect on the BBL.

Tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift
In ordred to obtain the best results and have easier recovery time, I do recommend to perform tummy tuck first, liposuction and fat transfer to buttucks ( Brazilizn buttlift ) to be done at least two months later. However if because of other reasons patient desire to have both surgeries done in the same setting, I would recommend to start up with tummy tuck first then proceed with lipotransfer to buttocks. Positioning of the patient and turning into prone ( face down) requires...

Tummy Tuck combined with Brazilian Butt Lift
Although there is no one or correct order in performing a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Brazilian Butt Lift (free fat transfer to the buttuck), I prefer to perform the tummy tuck first, followed by the liposuction and finally perform the fat transfer to the buttuck. I feel this order allows the surgeon to tailor the abdomen, hips and thighs immediately following the tummy tuck. It also decreases swelling and bruising by mininimizing the time between the liposuction and Brazilian...

Tummy tuck and butt lift
Thanks for your question. It really depends on how much fat your surgeon plans to transfer. On occassion, I only am planning to trasfer 250-400 cc of fat to the buttock and sometimes patients have enough in the flanks for this amount and I would start prone (lying on your face) complete the butt lift and then turn you over to perfrom the tummy tuck. If your surgeon is performing a larger volume butt fat transfer, then I would start supine ( on your back) liposuction...

Tummy tuck and BBL
While it is possible to do an abdominoplasty and autologous fat transfer to the buttocks in the same surgery, I don't think it's a good idea. There is always a compromise made in either surgery to make this possible. I believe this effects the final result in way of not adequate volume or placement of fat. It is a downside to do this in two separate times, but in my opinion better results are worth having a second surgery. In my practice, I perform liposuction and AFT first then after three...

Tummy tuck and bbl
Dear Optimistic,
It is nice to be optimistic however you need to be also realistic. Cosmetic surgery is totally elective. You do not have to have the surgery (like appendix or gallblader etc. ) , you elect to have the surgery. For that reason, complication should be reduced to a minimum. Combination of surgeries, particularly, those that take over 6 hours, increase the rate of complications. I am sure that you heard about celebrities that had a very bad outcome...

Tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift
When I perform these two procedures together, I harvest the fat first then perform the tummy tuck and the final step is inject the fat into the buttock by turning the patient to the sides so as not to jeopardize the result of either procedure.
I hope that helps.

Tummy tuck and Breast Aug. Which is performed first?
I prefer to perform the breast augmentation first because following the tummy tuck, the patient is in the flexed position making it more difficult to perform the breast aug. There should be no compromise with the breast surgery result at all. Plus, the patient should be sat up following the breast aug to check for symmetry and implant position. Assessment is more difficult in the flexed position. Thank you of this interesting question.
