A: Brazilian Butt lift and Tummy Tuck

By Otto Joseph Placik, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

SEE VIDEO FOR BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT WITH TUMMY TUCK: It is possible that both can be performed together. I understand that your surgeon does not perform both. If you have a choice I would recommend the Brazilian Butt Lift first and then the Tummy Tuck to allow for... more

A: Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck

By Daniel P. Markmann, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Hi Kim, First of all, the Brazilian Buttocks Lift is a GREAT procedure when done correctly. I have never had an unhappy patient and have done many. From looking at your picture, I would probably recommend performing both the tummy tuck and Brazilian at the same time. You don't look as though you have a lot of... more

A: Alway do the Brazilian Butt Lift first

By Armando Soto, MD - Orlando Plastic Surgeon

Hi there- Especially when there is some question about whether there is enough fat available for a pleasing Brazilian Butt Lift outcome, it is imperative that the fat present not be disturbed by another procedure... (provided the patient already know she wanted this) I would therefore ALWAYS recommend doing... more

A: great question - takes a large amount of fat for the butt lift

By W. Tracy Hankins, MD - Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon

This is a frequent question in my practice as women who come to me for the Brazilian Bottock lift do not always have the proper amount of fat elsewhere to provide enough donor fat for the buttick lift. Looking at your pictures, I would stage the procedure, to ensure that we would have enough fat for the... more

A: Tummy tuck before or after Brazilian butt lift

By Sirish Maddali, MD - Bay Area Plastic Surgeon

These are both very complementary procedures and in all likelihood, should be performed at the same time. I would recommend that you find a plastic surgeon willing to do both procedures at the same time. The fat obtained from the tummy tuck and liposuction portion will be very useful in providing fat for... more

A: Do both tummy tuck and brazilian butt lift at the same time

By David A. Dreyfuss, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

You clearly need adequate fat to perform a buttock lift with a fat transfer. If the procedures are performed together, you can accomplish your goals with one stage. Liposuction would be performed on your lower and lateral abdomen. Liposuction would also be done on your hips and flanks. The washed fat... more

A: Do them simultaneously

By Kenneth R. Francis, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Livy, Many of my patients combine tummy tuck and Brazilian buttock lift surgery. The sequence is to first liposuction the belly, then perform the tummy tuck, turn you over and complete the liposuction and Brazilian. I wouldn't expect an enormous buttock enhancement, judging from the limited view... more

A: I Would Combine All the Procedures

By John LoMonaco, MD - Houston Plastic Surgeon

I would first perform the liposuction and tummy tuck, then prepare all the fat from both the lipo AND the skin/fat that was removed from your tummy. A lot more fat can be removed from the tummy skin than with liposuction, and with much less trauma. This would give you one downtime and one exposure to... more

A: Do the tummy tuck.

By William B. Rosenblatt, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Forget the but lift -- it is not a good procedure. The tummy tuck is great and will give you a good result. But look at the satisfaction index re butt lifts. They are usually not worth it.

A: Tummy Tuck first or Brazilian Butt Lift?

By Peter A. Aldea, MD - Memphis Plastic Surgeon

Dear Livylive, It would be helpful to have pictures of your back as well, but from what I see you are very thin. Although that makes for a GREAT tummy tuck (assuming you are not a smoker or have other health concerns), you simply do not have sufficient fat in your tummy for a major fat transfer to the buttocks... more
