Brazilian Butt Lift first THEN Tummy Tuck!

Great question! I have many patients who have received this combination. They received thorough liposuction of the abdomen hips waist back thighs and trunk and then received selective fat grafting to the buttock region. They then recovered from the Brazilian Butt lift. After this procedure they lost a great deal of fat from the abdomen hips and waist and truly enjoyed their new curves. However because of the aggressive liposuction they now had loose skin in their abdomen and hips. This... more

Save your fat for buttock agumentation before you get a tummy tuck

If you are considering a buttock augmentation and tummy tuck, you can not have both procedures done at the same time. considering that you can not rest on your buttock for a week after a buttock augmentation, therefore you will not be able to have a tumm tuck at the same time. So, which procedure should you do first? I recommend having large volume lipousction to harvest all your excess fat and to use it effectively for enlaring and shaping your buttocks with fat grafting. Afterwards, you... more

Brazilian Butt Lifts and Tummy Tucks

Thanks for the question - You're balancing two issues. Abdominoplasty (tummy tucks) get the best results when people are as close to ideal body weight as possible. Brazilian butt lift candidates are also within their ideal body weight but not too thin. In our San Francisco area practice we typically use 300-600 cc of fat per buttock cheek. Most people with a BMI of 24 - 26 have plenty of fat available from their abdomen, thighs and flanks. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who has... more

Brazilian Mommy Makeover?!

Combining both procedures at the same time is rough but can be done. Most women after having children are very unhappy with the appearance of their body. Having children is wonderful but the damage that is done to a women's body is not. I prefer to not perform surgery on patients with a BMI over 30. This can lead to complications as well as unflattering results. I would recommend for you to maintain a healthy weight prior to surgery in order to have the best result. Consult with a... more

Combining tummy tuck and butt lift

For the best results and lasting enlargement of the buttocks the patient ought be to at a stable weight prior to surgery. Loosing significant weight after surgery can diminish the projection of your buttocks. In my practice I obtain a thorough history of patient's weigh gain and losses, asses the pertinent anatomy. Only then can I recommend if the patient ought to loose any weight pre-operatively. Make sure that you choose a surgeon with lots of experience,... more

Brazilian Butt lift and tummy tuck

I think it is most important to be at a weight the you are comfortable at before surgery. Too heavy or too thin is never a good idea. The two are commonly done together.

Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck

We do a fair number of Brazilian butt lifts together with Tummy Tuck. My opinion is that it is better to be at a comfortable weight for you, or a stable weight. In the video below we show a patient who had Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck and then lost weight. We find that when the Brazilian Butt lift is done well, even when the patient loses weight the result holds up. see video

Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt Enhancement

You can do the tummy tuck and use the skin and fat removed from the tummy as a Dermis fat graft to enhance the buttock. Also described by the Brazilians. You can also do the Fat transfer, Brazilian Butt Lift, along with the tummy tuck at the same time.

Diet for Tummy Tuck or have Brazilian Butt Lift?

If you have enough fat, I would do the Brazilian first, followed by the tummy tuck after you have completely recovered from the first procedure. In many cases when patients don't have a lot of fat to spare, I perform the Tummy Tuck at the same time as the Brazilian Butt Lift, allowing me to remove all of the fat from the area of abdominal skin that is going to be removed, so it can all be transferred to your buttocks. As far as your weight, it's very important to be at a healthy weight... more

I want both a Brazilian Butt Lift and a Tummy Tuck- Which First?

Hi there- This is a question that comes up quite frequently in my practice... Unless achieving that flat belly is clearly a much higher a priority for you than the improved butt contour you also desire, I would always recommend doing the buttock surgery first. Once you have the butt shape and size you want in relation to the rest of you, losing any excess weight is possible- as is the achievement of the abdominal improvement you want. I do think that at the time of your tummy tuck it is importa more

Weight loss prior to tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift

I recommend that patients be at a stable weight. If you starve yourself prior to surgery, you risk gaining the weight back and being unhappy with the result. You don't want to be in a starvation state at the time of surgery, since that may interfere with wound healing.

Losing weight prior to tummy tuck or Brazilian Butt Lift.

The most important thing is to be at a stable weight that you can realistically maintain over the long term. It is also recommended that this weight be within the healthy BMI range (less than 30) It is of no use if you lose weight for your tummy tuck and then put it all back after surgery.
