Can Brazilian Butt Lift Be Combined with Tummy Tuck or Lipo?

Yes, these two procedures can be performed together provided the patient is in good overall health..

Thank you for your question. Yes, combining a Brazilian Butt Lift with a Tummy Tuck is very common. However, recovery will be more of a pain and sleeping will be a little more uncomfortable. Keep in mind that you will be very sore from the Tummy Tuck and Liposuction. Sleeping on your stomach the first week is not going to workout. Sleeping on your side would be the best option. If you sleep on your back you can suffocate the fat that was transferred to the buttocks. As long as you have help at home the first week of recovery, having both surgeries should work out. You do not want to be in this recovery alone with no help. Otherwise, knocking them out in one day is is an option. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

In my practice it is most common for me to perform all of the procedures you mentioned at the same time. I use an assistant to save total operative time with the goal less than 6 hours of surgery (often far less than that) to minimize potential complications and for a speedier recovery. My patients following a TT with or without a BBL stay in a reclining chair the first week. The benefit is only one surgery, only one recovery (you heal from all procedures simultaneously) and that you can use the fat that would normally be discarded from the tummy tuck. Pros and cons of this decision should be part of your in depth consultation with your plastic surgeon. The most important decision is picking the best plastic surgeon experienced in this technique. #CombinationTTandBBL
