Liposuction and BBL without a tummy tuck? (Photo)

Question

I am 29 years old and have yet to have any kids. I gained over 100lbs within 3 years, I had the lapband surgery and managed to lose the weight. However my body never went back to"normal". I know I will need a TT, however I do not want to do one prior to having children. I do want to fix my figure a bit my doing the lipo/BBL but do not want to make my body worse. I was told by 1 surgeon they would do the lipo/BBL, another surgeon said she would not do it because the results would be very poor.

Thank you for the question and photos. Based on the photos, you can get a great result with body sculpting and a BBL with the understanding that the abdomen might look worse. Since fat would need to be collected from the back, waist, hips abdomen and arms in your case, to then augment the buttocks with fat, I would not do a tummy tuck. You might benefit from lower abdominal skin excision without muscle tightening, no reason to live with a wrinkled abdomen. Then you can have children and a tummy tuck after the last child. You have less fat than you think you have, so it is imperative that you see a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body sculpting techniques. Your first surgery is your best chance for a good result. In my practice, I see a lot of patients who because of price shopping, ended up with less than was promised, and it is very difficult to fix these surgical misadventures. Good luck with your search.

If you have loose skin from your lap band procedure your skin likely will not respond very well to liposuction. The tummy tuck will certainly improve your abdominal and waist contour but your skin may have contour irregularities from the liposuction. Consult with another experienced plastic surgeon if you are concerned.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.... I recommend you to have a tummy tuck because if you have liposuction only, the extra skin on your abdomen that you already have, will be more than saggy if you dont perform the tummy tuck.. you will get really nice results with both procedures combined!!!

In this situation, a BBL can be performed first with the fat being obtained from several areas like the belly, hips, thighs and lower back.  You can then consider a tummy tuck later on.  Removing the fat from the belly will make a future tummy tuck easier with a better aesthetic result.  Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luck!

Based on your pictures I think you would be a great candidate for liposuction with BBL that will deliver excellent results. If you wanted to remove some of your abdominal skin laxity you might consider a panniculectomy to start (that does not involve muscle plication) to remove some the extra skin.
