I want a BBL but have hanging stomach fat. Should I get the BBL before getting the tummy tuck?
Answer: BBL or Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. At my practice, I perform many BBL and tummy tuck combo procedures. However, if you're considering having a BBL and tummy tuck done individually, then it makes sense to do the tummy tuck first. Then 4-5 months later, a BBL can be performed. The reason being that if you have significant excess skin and you get liposuction in that area, the area will look wrinkled, scarred, and irregular. Also doing significant liposuction on the abdomen and then having a tummy tuck later can predispose you to wound healing complications after the tummy tuck. I would recommend getting a proper evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Want a BBL but have hanging stomach fat. BBL or tummy tuck? (photos) Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. You could have the TT done first to remove the loose skin and tighten the abdomen. However, the result will not be as tight as lipo and BBL first and then TT. If you are in good health, both can be performed at the same time; but the upper abdomen cannot be aggressively liposuctioned at the time of the TT due to blood supply issues.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear euphemiacolbert, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: BBL Hi, thank you for sharing your question. I would recommend that you do the BBL before doing a tummy tuck. This will allow you to harvest more fat for the BBL and also optimize the amount of skin resection for your tummy tuck later on.
