I want a BBL obviously with 360 lipo but I know that I'd have loose skin afterwards(I have loose skin now) is it possible to have a tummy tuck at the same time as my BBL?

Answer: Tummy tuck, BBL Thank you for your question! Yes, it is possible to have a tummy tuck, 360 lipo, and a BBL all in one procedure. The amount of surgery that is safe to be performed on a patient is dependent on factors such as the patient’s age, height, weight, and medical history. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can assess you in person and create a plan to get you to your goal. Best of luck!

Answer: IT WOULDN'T BE SUITABLE TO GET ALL THE PROCEDURES DONE AT THE SAME TIME. Hello Anon1032, It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! I would recommend you getting a VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) done first, and an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) six months after you’re fully recovered from the initial procedure. Dividing the surgical plan into two stages would the best option for: 1) removing excess fat from specific areas such as arms, back, abs and flanks while reshaping your figure and giving you a fuller, beautifully rounded backside, and 2) getting rid of excess skin, and eliminating stretch marks in the abdominal area, while tightening your skin for a more athletic look. Based on my experience, after performing BBL surgery you must avoid sitting or sleeping on your back for 6-8 months or else the desired outcome will be negatively affected. Putting pressure on your bottom by sitting down or laying on it during the recovery period can stiffen, deform and even cause the resorption of the newly transplanted fat cells. On the other hand, if you get an abdominoplasty done at the same time, you’ll be required to sleep on your back and keep your upper body elevated or else you would hurt the results. Hence, it wouldn’t be suitable to get all the procedures performed at once. Your plastic surgeon would need to evaluate you in person and estimate your Body Mass Index (BMI) in order to determine if you are a good candidate for these procedures at the moment. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Answer: BBL and tummy tuck It's possible to combine a BBL procedure and a tummy tuck in the same setting if you are in good health and if you are able to recover while spending most of your time on your side- to avoid pressure on the buttock and abdomen.A consultation is needed to examine your anatomy, if you have loose skin you will still have loose, if not looser, skin after surgery.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
