What's the difference between tummy tuck with BBL and liposuction with BBL?

With liposuction fatty pockets are removed via small incisions and a cannula. For those with no muscle separation or loose skin this is often a great choice. A tummy will surgically remove excess fat and skin, as well as repair abdominal wall laxity. Liposuction is sometimes added to enhance contours. I recommend meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals and determine which procedures are right for you.

I typically would not do a BBL with a tummy tuck for recovery reasons. I think it is much easier on the patients as well as me, to do the BBL with liposuction first so that as much fat as possible can be used for the BBL, then after recovering come back for a tummy tuck if you still need it. I would suggest waiting 6 months to see if you have loose skin that would be treated with a tummy tuck. The results are not really the same because the BBL adds volume and shape to your buttocks while the tummy tuck really only improves your tummy and waistline, even if both use liposuction. Liposuction is commonly used with a tummy tuck, but has to be used to harvest fat for the Brazilian buttock lift. 

The tummy tuck is better at improving loose skin of the belly than liposuction. So, if you have loose abdominal skin or separation of your rectus abdominis muscles (or both), you may benefit from a tummy tuck with your Brazilian butt lift. If you have just a little bit of excess fat of your abdomen and/or love handles, then you could probably get great results with liposuction with your BBL. 
So, from the standpoint of your buttocks, the results of are the same. From the standpoint of your abdomen, the results are likely quite different!
