Can I get a mini tuck face-lift, and then a BBL 4 weeks later?

Question

I am trying to work with the surgeon's availability , as well as my availability away from work with the procedures and recovery. I'm a healthy, active, 45 y/o female with no medical concerns.

I see no reason for not doing  BBL and face lift few weeks apart. I would suggest doing BBL first since there is need to turn patient 180 degree on the table and reposition head. That may, to some degree, compromise result of face procedure if done first. Discuss with your surgeon of doing BBL first and facial procedure to follow. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your question. If you decide to stage them, would recommend that you have the lipo and BBL first followed by the TT six months later. Fat can be harvested from the abdomen, sides, flanks, lower back, upper back, posterior neck, submental areas, jowls, arms, thighs, calves, ankles, buttocks, hips, knees as your desire. Notably absent from the list are the earlobes and digits. There is very little fat present on those areas. Be sure to consult with board certified plastic surgeons who are experts in lipo and BBL

Dear Fantastic483944, thanks for sharing your concerns, every surgeon have their own post surgical protocol, it is difficult to answer your question without photos or an in-person consultation. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks! Dr. Luis Mejia.

Thank you for your question. Without photos and information about your height and weight it is difficult to answer your question. If we assume that your BMI is 25 or less, I would do the tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL first, then two days later the facelift. Obviously an in person physical examination is required to determine if these are the procedures which give you the desired results.
See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Dear Fantastic483944,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you to with at least 6 months between procedures. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
