Can Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck with Liposuction and a Brazilian Butt Lift be done at the same time?

Question

I am currently losing weight but I know I will still need to have plastic surgery to remove excess skin and lift my breast. I am interested in having breast augmentation to lift my breast only no reduction. I love the size. I am an H cup. I have been researching doctors and procedures and understand that it will be best to get lipo to contour my body for the best appealing look. So, can breast augmentation be done with fat transfer? And would you recommend all the surgery be done together?

I have done these procedures at the same time in less than 4 hours, but each case should be judged for its unique features.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts, breast surgeries, tummy 
tucks and body contouring procedures each year.  Then look at the 
plastic surgeon's 
 website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can  
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for the question. I regularly advise to perform a tummy tuck and liposuction together because this way you will save on downtime and have just one recovery period for both procedures. It is possible to add BBL to this combination without putting your health at risk. However, it might complicate your recovery period since you'd have to find a way to rest without exerting pressure on your abdomen AND your backside.
An in-person exam with a board certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to fully assess your needs and address your concerns. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. To answer your question, yes it can be done. Now I wouldn't recommend it, the longer you remain in an operating room, the more probability for complications, specially if other risk factors are at play, like excess weight, more than 40 years old, use of hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, bad blood circulation in your legs, among others. My advise, and how I like to work, is to focus on body contouring in one trip, then do your breast surgery, whichever you want first. It doesn't mean that doing everything that you mention is wrong, just that there is enough evidence to support that doing all that surgery in one trip means a close dance with disaster.
