Hello, I'm 24 year old. I'm looking into Tummy Tuck but I wonder if a Brazilian Butt Lift can solve more of my lower mommy pouch area and flanks. I'm short 5 ft even 130s in weight and my preeclampsia pregnancy made me gain 90 pounds in fluid retention totally damage my body. Can I gain a better result with the BBL or badly need a TT?! Looking at doctors in Miami for affordable deal or surrounding areas/states

Answer: TT + BBL go well together I think you need a TT at a minimum (assuming you are done with child bearing). A 90 lb weight change is substantial and typically creates a lot of loose skin. A BBL alone could improve your contour but your abdomen (which also looks like it may have some rectus diastasis) will not. It will most likely remain convex and that shape competes with and masks the shape and projection of your backside. One reason why you rarely only see lateral and posterior views of BBLs on websites is because the abdomen is loose and distorted. I have ton a lot of tummy tucks of post-BBL patients from other practices. That aside, you can do them together or in stages with the BBL performed first followed by a TT at a later date if so desired. Good luck.

Answer: BBL Hello and thank you for the question. You can do BBL alone or with the Tummy tuck. Liposuction has the risk of leaving loose hanging skin. If you are done having children, then the tummy tuck would give you a flatter stomach. You should consider 2 weeks off of work and about 1-2 months out of the gym. Remember that some of the fat that is transferred does not last long term, but typically about 70% remains. You should have several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons before making any final decisions. As always, best to be healthy, no smoking, and make sure any health concerns you have are managed by your primary care md. Best to you.
