Hello, thank you for sharing your question. After a significant weight loss of more than 70 pounds, I would recommend an extended tummy tuck (Tummy XL) combined with a BBL in your case. Performing these procedures together allows us to address the excess skin and abdominal contour while also...

In my experience, combining a tummy tuck and BBL is not automatically safer or more dangerous; it creates competing recovery needs. A tummy tuck needs wound protection and often limits hip flexion, while BBL requires strict pressure avoidance and off-loading. A pillow should support the thighs...
