Should I get a BBL or Tummy tuck first? I'm trying to get a flat stomach, but a little more fat in the rear doesn't hurt (photo)

Thanks for your question. You appear to be a good candidate for both procedures. Combination procedures are safe and very effective in the right hands.  The surgeon has to be an expert in each procedure and must have a lot of experience in performing combination procedures. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

For those of us who routinely do these surgeries, we routinely recommend BBL first then Tummy tuck surgery 6 months later.  For patients doing more conservative buttock enhancement, targeted fat graft (miniBBL) can be done simultaneously but realize you will have pressure on your fat grafted buttocks as you are recovering from your tummy tuck.  Best Wishes!!

I usually perform 360 Vaser ultrasound liposuction with BBL first. This will remove and use all fat of the abdomen, waist and back while allowing fat transfer for curvy contour.In some patients, a tummy tuck may also be indicated for lose muscles and/or skin. Depending upon the situation, tummy tuck can be done later or at the same time as 360+BBL.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
