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: 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.
