Tummy Tuck, Brazilian Butt Lift, and Breast Augmentation Advice?

I want to get a Tummy Tuck, Brazilian Butt Lift, and Breast Augmentation. The doctor I'm considering said it is possible to get all three at once, and also suggested I can have the Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck, then Breast Augmentation 3 months later. What are your recommendations? Has anyone done this and can give me some advice?

Multiple Surgeries

I would not do all that at one time. It is way too much surgery and way too much risk and way too long of anesthesia time. I would breast them up. Do the tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift at one sitting and the breast surgery at the other. The brazilian butt lift surgery takes time and can not and should not be rushed to achieve optimal results. The fat needs to be injected in small increments to achieve a nice result, so it just takes time. Good luck.

Multiple procedures are possible, but may not be safe

Dear Ari_ana, Just because something is "possible", it does not mean that one is safe doing it. (Consider cliff diving, swimming with sharks and other "extreme" activities...) The more procedures you have, the more you pay, the more your surgeon earns, the more you are transformed (good or bad), the longer your recovery, the more risks you take and the higher the risk of serious complications (infection and blood clots to the lungs). EVEN IF you suffered no serious complica more

Multiple procedures

It is certainly possible to offer multiple procedures to be done in the same setting, as long as you are healthy and the surgery can be done within a reasonable amount of time.

How to perform a tummy tuck, Brazilian Butt lift and breast augmentation.

Tummy tucks are a very popular and effective technique to contour the abdomen. The effects of a tummy tuck may be complimented with a breast augmentation and a Brazilian Butt lift. Although a breast augmentation can safely be done at the same time as either a tummy tuck or a Brazilian Butt lift, it is not recommended to perform a tummy tuck with a Brazilian Butt lift. When patients are considering these procedures they need to keep in mind the individual recovery requirements for each... more

I would not combine procedures which require differing postoperative positioning

Hi there- This is a question that comes up often. I personally would not recommend undergoing Brazilian Butt Lift, Abdominoplasty, and Breast Enhancement at the same time for several reasons: The length of the operation- the longer an operation is, the greater the risk for you. After a Tummy Tuck, you will need to be a bit bent at the waist for comfort, and lying on your abdomen will be uncomfortable. After breast enhancement, I would not want you lying on your abdomen, or on your sides... more

Tummy tucks and brazilian butt lifts are frequrntly performed together as can be seen in the attached video below.The length of time under general anesthesia will vary with the amount of fat to be injected as well as the extensiveness of the tummy tuck.
