With varying opinions from surgeons, I am at a stand still for which procedure to get first based on my body type. I am looking at either Tummy tuck or BBL- combining is not an option at this time. Which makes sense? Thank you For your guidance!

Answer: Abdominoplasty Before BBL Thank you for your question. I perform many BBL & tummy tuck combo procedures at my practice. But, if you're considering having the procedures done individually, then it makes sense to do the tummy tuck first. Then 4-5 months later, a BBL can be performed. The reason being that if you have significant excess skin and you get liposuction in that area, the area will look wrinkled, scarred, and irregular. Also doing significant liposuction on the abdomen and then having a tummy tuck later can predispose you to wound healing complications after the tummy tuck. I would recommend getting a proper evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Ans: BBL or tummy tuck first based on my body type? Hello, dear! Thank you for your inquiry. Your photographs and the information provided indicate that you should consider a Tummy tuck combined with Liposculpture and BBL to achieve the best results as your pictures show extra skin that will not tighten with a simple liposculpture.

Answer: Brazilian butt lift (BBL) Thank you for your question. Both a BBL and a tummy tuck can offer amazing results, but since you're considering starting with one, a BBL would be a great choice. The BBL utilizes the excess fat from your abdomen and flanks to enhance your buttocks, giving you a more contoured and shapely figure. By opting for the BBL first, you achieve a fuller, lifted appearance in your buttocks and benefit from some slimming and sculpting in your midsection, similar to what you'd experience with liposuction. This can provide a beautiful transformation and might even reduce the work needed for a tummy tuck. Once ready, you can consider the tummy tuck to address any remaining skin laxity or muscle tightening for a more toned abdomen.
