Are my expectations realistic? Including pics and wish pics!
Answer: Procedures thanks for the question. In my practice i usually perform both procedures in the same surgical time in healthy patients. You can achieve great results performing the tummy tuck with liposuction transferring the fat to buttocks and hips for the BBL. is good for you to know that in a personal consult with a board certifed surgeon after a complete evaluation we are going to define better whats best for you. Kind regards

Answer: Can I get a BBL and tummy tuck in one procedure or stage the surgeries with BBL first? The combination of the TT and BBL can be performed in healthy patients by a board certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in both and can perform the combination in 4 hours or less.Performing the surgeries at the same time is not an issue. I usually advise performing the liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back with the fat transfer to the buttocks first. Then return 3 to 6 months later and perform the TT. This will will add a measure of safety. In addition, recovery will be easier. The TT will prevent you from resting on your stomach, and the BBL will prevent you from resting on your back or butt.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Brazilian Butt Lift You'll need to do both procedures at the same time. If you did the tummy tuck first then all the abdominal fat that you need to harvest for the BBL would be lost. If you don't want them done at the same time then you could do the BBL (liposuction) first and then the tummy tuck later to remove the excess skin and tighten the abdomen.

Answer: BBL and tummy tuck in one procedure Thank you for your question. 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 and can minimize the operative time. For example, we work in a team and would less hours for the complete operation. This allows us to get better results with less surgical time and less trauma. Having combination of procedures is always cheaper than getting them separately, plus you get the additional benefit of having just one recovery period. 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.

Answer: Can I get a BBL and tummy tuck in one procedure or stage the surgeries with BBL first? (Photos) Hi and thanks for your photos. You are and ideal candidate for a combined procedure Tummy Tuck Plus Lipo and BBL (Fat Transfer to Buttocks). This is always possible when you are in good health and you have high hemoglobin level. You undoubtedly will improve your body contour, but try to keep realistic expectations for your results. There are differences in bone structure, fat distribution, height, weight, and genetics between you and your whish pics. So go on knowing you will be the best as you can achieve.Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)Member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)Certified Plastic Surgeon
