Hi I know what I need, tummy tuck lipo, breast lift and bbl, however my job is demanding and depending on the procedure I may not be able to take all the time required for heeling off work for the bbl and tummy tuck.. right now so, based off my pictures would just lipo and that fat added to my hips give my body an hourglass look. I'm pretty sure once I get the fat taken out my upper body my butt would look bigger, but right now my upper to lower body is not in proportion. I gain all wait at the

Answer: What will liposuction and hip fat transfer achieve? liposuction of your torso will make your torso smaller. This will make your upper half more proportionate with your lower extremities and pelvis area. Liposuction should include your full torso which technically means upper abdomen, lower abdomen, love handles, waist, back and armpit or under arms. Avoid the temptation of having a Abdomen 360 without including your back. Doing so will make you more wedge shaped with a wide upper torso. Including your arms would also help get you more proportionate and not look so top-heavy. Liposuction will not address skin laxity, muscle separation, excess Intra-abdominal fat etc. Liposuction will not change your contour all that much but it will make you more proportionate. It makes little sense to transfer fat to your hips and not include some in your buttocks since it’s virtually another part of the same area. The recovery isn’t any longer for a fat transfer than it is for liposuction. Some providers will have you set an a special pillow and you can do this at work. If you’re going to do a fat transfer then do it correctly and graft the areas needed to give you the best bottom. Whether this ends up being something that emphasizes the hips more than the barracks is a discussion you should have during an in person consultation with your board-certified plastic surgeon.There are covering from a breast lift is fairly straightforward and not that difficult. I could imagine having a breast lift on a Friday and being back to work on Monday or Tuesday. The same is true for liposuction and fat transfer. The only procedure that requires a lengthy recovery is a full tummy tuck. The recovery from this procedure is drastically different than all the other ones. That procedure requires two weeks off work unless someone is a real trooper.If you haven’t done so I suggest having numerous in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons will have extensive experience with all the procedures you’re interested in. Personally I don’t believe you should have all those procedures done at the same time. How procedures are split depends on numerous factors and each surgeon will have their own way of doing this.Do you have the potential for a great outcome. Which procedure should come first should be a discussion with you and your surgeon. Starting with the procedures that will give the most improvement or award is a good way to go. I also think starting with easier procedures it’s a good idea. I can see how someone could be turned off to having a second procedure after a tummy tuck.My practice is devoted exclusively to liposuction and fat transfer procedures. I have years of experience doing general plastic surgery but for the last decade I’ve focused in on fat manipulation body contouring. I do my liposuction and fat transfer cases with my patients awake as office base procedures using local anesthesia with mild sedation. It takes longer and it can be uncomfortable from time to time but with a patient surgeon who has ample experience of doing procedures this way it is preferable in my hands and a fairly simple thing to go through. My patients walk out of the office at the end of the procedure.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
