Hey Beauties, after extensive research, I...

Hey Beauties, after extensive research, I scheduled my Tummy Tuck and BBL with Dr. Jimerson. He is very expensive but I think he is the best doctor to acheive my goals (small waist, and a nice bubble with hips to match.) However I am concerned of combining the TT with a BBL. See a lot of the fat on my body is harvested in my trunk region, like my stomach and oblique area. I believe that is the region that Dr. J will get most of the fat for my BBL. When performing a TT, most doctors DO lipo the abdominal area, but not aggressively because they are concerned of the blood flow to the "flap". And I really need a small waist.

Should I just go ahead and have my BBL, heal up and get the best results possible and then schedule my TT for a later time?

Its interesting, when I first started viewing this site I noticed a lot of girls were either going to Salama or Dr. J. Now it seems like everyone is going out of country to yily, or campos or the DR. And theres nothing wrong with that either, just noticing the trends.

Welcome...when are you scheduled for? Is a tt something that you sure you need? Im asking because after lipo do you know for a fact that your skin will sag?

Girl, my skin is already a little saggy around my stomach, I think I'll need a mini tt

Thanks girl!!

I really don't want to go thru surgery twice but I want the best results possible from each procedure

Good luck most docs dont do them together. U have one then the other. Do u really need a tummy tuck? I had lipo when I was told by another doc I needed TT. My doc only gives tt if your skin and stomach muscles are not tight. Get consults first to see.

#Nycutie...thank you for your input but i am very confident that i have chosen the best physician for my body after 12mos of extensive research and one on one consultations in and out of the state i reside in. Everyones ndd for bbl,tt or ba is different so opinionated statements shld be kept. to a minimum but keeping it positive and encouraging for all! Ues im 100% sure of what my surgical ndds are and after making such a huge investment it will look like ive had the proceedure and not as if the physician just experimented or practiced on my body. Every woman on here im sure os fully aware that she will have to eat healthier and exercise to keep her new physique to prevent flab as she ages. I am ans i alwsys encourage everyone of ny RS sisters that they are already SEXY AND WONDERFULLY MADE before they have their proceedure! Dr Jimersen states he approaches his surgeries in an aggressive approach from day one of speaking to each and everyone of his pts. He is a physician who will not conduct a TT IF ITS NOT NEEDED. CONGRATULATIONS on your satisfied journey :) TEAMJIMERSEN DRJCURVES!!!!!

I am not stating u havent BUT a tt may not be needed that's all im saying. There are so many ladies who got lipo when others said tt. They have super flat stomach's. I was just simply asking becsuse I myself was told that and I would have gone through unnecessary cutting. Nobody is saying anything bad. Why be so sensitive we've all been through sx. For the record I didnt give my opinion just simply asked a question. Good luck!

Has anyone ever had a BBL and a Tummy Tuck at the same time?

BigBootyBarbie
As you can tell from my earlier post, I'm undecided to have my BBL and Tummy Tuck at separate times or have them together. On one hand I want to have them combined because honestly, i dont want to have to put my body through two procedures. I just want to be in there one time and done!! If I combine the procedures it's less expensive and I wont have to look at my saggy skin after the BBL.

On the other hand, I would like to have them separately because i'm concerned my surgeon will not be aggressive with the lipo to my abdominal area because he will be concerned about the blood flow to the "flap" for the tummy tuck. Also, after he does my BBL, he will have to lie me on my back to perform the Tummy Tuck and we all know this is a big no no for the BBL. I'm no plastic Surgeon or anything and I'm sure they have different methods for combining the two procedures but I want to protect my investment. Hell, I'm paying you a lot of money and I want the best possible results for both procedures.... After all we only get one body.

I had both combined and I won't adviced you that. Because by law he can only take 5000 cc so just to the Bbl before and after if needed you can Do the tummy tuck. And the recovery is very painful.i had my surgeries 4 weeks ago and I m extremly unhappy with my results.
June 19, 2013
Omg, I am so sorry to hear about your disappointment!! I can only imagine!! We work hard for our money and its heart breaking when you dont get the results you were looking for!! I am praying that soemthing can be done about your situation. Thank you so much for your advise!!

hey bigbootybarbie my surgery is scheduled with dr jimerson for October 2014. gosh our dates are close yet so far...anyway I have been wondering the same thing about the bbl and tt performed together. I was told by my consultant that I would look nothing like my wish pic if I don't get the tummy tuck. yet its not like I wont get it at all...just not together due to recovery issues. i have seen how other girls combine the procedures and noticed how the surgeon must have been focusing on the belly because the ass is usually the department that lacks. i want no distractions. anyway happy to follow your post :)
June 19, 2013
hey girl I agree. I was talking to a patient coordinator yesterday and I was telling her that i was concerned about having them combined bc of recovery issues and bc I seen the pics of the girls that have them combined and their BBL looks so so. I want the best BBL possible and the best TT possible.
