Combining Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Implants?

Hi, that's a very interesting question. It is very common for patient to want to have all at once because it will save time and money. That is something convenient but the cons are the amount of fat that can reabsorb from sitting in your butt during the recovery. Most patients want to have a high volume of fat injected on their butts and preserve most of that fat, therefore, if your main concern is the volume of your butt, we recommend for you to have the procedures done in 2 separate surgery sessions.Always as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an expert advise.

This is a very common
question in my practice. It is hard for
most patients to take too much time of work and they want to make the most of
their time off. They also just want to
get everything done at one time.



If the patient is only having
a breast augmentation with no lift I would do them at the same time. If they need a lift or other breast work
beyond the standard breast augmentation they would need to do them in separate
settings. I do this for several reasons:



I
limit my surgeries to about five hours as it decreases the risks of surgery

I do
not let patients sit for two week after their Brazilian Butt lift to protect
the fat that has been transferred.

If I
need to do a breast lift or other internal breast work I don’t want patients to
lay on the fresh incisions lines immediately after surgery

I hope this helps, discuss it
with your board certified plastic surgeon. 

Thanks for your question.
Yes, you can combine the Brazilian butt lift with breast augmentation. I perform many of these combos at my practice. I would recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon so you can get a good understanding of what to expect in terms of the surgery, recovery and post op care.

Thank you so much for your question. These two procedure can be perform at the same time, but it is essential to make pre-op lab work and evaluation, they should be in optimal ranges, that allows us to make a safe procedure. It's very important to make a pre-op preparation before the surgery, advising the patient to take certain measures that helps to have a successful surgery with very good results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.- 

Getting both procedures done at the same time is possible but would result in a difficult recovery period. 

Thank you for your question. Technically they could be performed at the same time, however I would always recommend my patients split the surgeries. The reason being as with a butt augmentation, you will not be able to sit on your buttocks for several weeks and cannot sleep on your back. With a breast augmentation you will not want to sleep on your sides or stomach, so pairing the two surgeries would make recovery difficult and uncomfortable. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon in person so they can explain the procedure in detail, the recovery process, and help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire. Good luck!Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question.  You can most definitely combine a Breast Augmentation.  It would be easier to have both procedures done at one time.  Less recovery, and you are only put under anesthesia once.  Make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs both combined procedures regularly.  Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board CertifiedPlastic Surgeon Chicago Hoffman EstatesOak Brook

Yes.  In most cases a Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation can be performed at the same time.  Patients will often elect to have multiple procedures at the same time to avoid extra time off from work, time out of the gym and avoid the need for multiple procedures requiring anesthesia.  The question as to whether or not certain combinations of procedures are possible during a single surgery is typically length of time required to perform the proposed procedures and a patient's medical and surgical history.  With that said, I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced in performing these procedures and also in performing these procedures at the same time.

The combination of brazilian butt lift and breast
augmentation can be performed in a single setting.When these operations are performed
together, safety has to be the first priority.For
this reason, we believe that the length of the procedure should never exceed
four to six hours.Complications from
surgery increase significantly when these number are exceeded.An experienced surgeon and surgical team that
focuses on efficacy can minimize the length of the surgical procedure.We often use another surgeon as a first
assistant to help with this process.The
recovery from this particular combination can be difficult and for this reason
many plastic surgeons prefer staging these procedures. The origin of the
problem is simple, breast augmentation patients should lie on their back
following surgery, while brazilian butt lift patients should lie on their
abdomens following surgery.This is
obviously a difficult proposition when both procedures are performed together.The
advantages of performing breast augmentation and brazilian butt lift surgery
together includes synergy and harmony, which improves the overall aesthetic
result.Patients experience one recovery
rather than multiple recoveries and they potentially save money when these
procedures are done in combination. For
these reasons, it’s important to consider each case on an individual basis. No two
patients are ever exactly alike.They
have different anatomic findings, aesthetic goals and social situations.It therefore important to tailor the surgical
approach to the patient’s needs.

Yes, these procedures can be combined without any problems. You could also consider fat grafting of the breast instead of an implant.
