I noticed that when women get the BBL and TT, the tummy tuck is beautiful but the BBL, not so much so.. However when these procedures were done separately, the BBL is beautiful and so Is the TT.. I want all the emphasis to be on my Butt and liposuction/liposculpture so should I do these separately? Would it be too much stress on my body to do 2 separate procedures? Would I be better off doing my BBL first to avoid laying on it due to the BBL?
Answer: BBL and tummy tuck You can combine a BBL and a tummy tuck into one procedure if you are in good health; this avoids two separate recoveries and two separate anesthesias. Watch this brief video for more information.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Multiple procedures, some advices: Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI and no history of diseases that increase the surgical / anesthetic risk degree.Finally, I recommend you a skilled certified plastic surgeon in body contouring surgery and experienced in cases like yours where the planned operating time is less than five hours. Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: BBL and TT at same time Great question! There are advantages and disadvantages to combining vs separating both procedures. The advantage of combining is that you only undergo one surgery with one recovery period. However, if you desire the best results, then splitting them into two procedures is best. The reason for this is with a tummy tuck, only a limited amount of liposuction can be performed. Liposuction can decrease the blood supply to abdominal tissue - normally this does not cause an issue, but combining this with the large incision from a tummy tuck, it can cause difficulty in wound healing. Therefore the best result would be to perform liposuction with the BBL, then come back later to performed the tummy tuck.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai@DrRogerTsai

Answer: To Combine or Not Combine the TT & BBL Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist. I agree with you, when performed separately you will see far superior results! Why is this? Because of two reasons: Time Constrains: Most surgeons like to keep an outpatient surgery (without a home nurse or overnight recovery/observation unit) to a maximum of 6 hours. When combining a BBL with a Tummy Tuck, the multi-position changes and liposuction gets rushed.Blood Supply and Skin Survivability: The more you beat up the skin from surgery the less chance it has to survive. This become important with the TT. If you did a TON of liposuction and the TT; then there is a higher likelihood of the tummy skin dying. So why do people combine the surgeries? If it is a very small tummy tuck, then it is usually fine. Some people don't want multiple surgeries. Some are on a budget and want the minor cost saving when combining surgery. Best of Luck!

Answer: Why do a BBL and TT at the same time? Good afternoon. Thanks for your question. It is better to put a patient on anesthesia one time if it's possible. If your hemoglobin levels are high enough to have everything done at the same time, it will be great. You will get rid of the pain just once, and you will spend less money because you're having those areas at one procedure. not two or three. Like I said, everything depends on your surgeon, your body, and your health.
